This loopback route was introduced to AIX 5.1 in order to speed up
communication when you talk to a local interface. This way it's rerouted to
loopback. I don't think there is any way to change this behavior, since it's
built into ifconfig.

Hi All,
Had any of you seen this route that is created automatically with system
reboot :
192.168.77.1 127.0.0.1 UGHS 2 17 lo0 - -
The IP address is the sever IP address. I checked added static routes but
found nothing. I flushed the routing table from ODM but it still happening.
I checked rc.net for added static routes but also found nothing. I m not
sure what is this status 'S' in the route.
This is happening only on AIX 5.1 systems and cause us problem at some
sites. I m sure there is away to deactivate it beside having to delete
after
the system reboot.
Thanks for you help.
