Hi,

I tried without having any lo0 interface. In that case system gives core
dump in the rtalloc method.
Actually i dont want to do it manually, i am looking for the approach where
i can make the necessary changes in the code
to achieve this.

Thanx
amit

Did you try to remove the route to lo0 from the routing table ?
Note that the loopback address will still be internal
