A question to ye all...

Say I'm establishing TCP connection to a box.
Socket will reflect the Source address (who it
came from - me), and the Destination address,
namely the IP address/port of the box I'm 
"dialing" to...

Now - what happens, if these two boxes are the same?

Is it normal for TCP/IP code to substitute the address
for "127.0.0.1" and pretend it comes from "localhost"?

I'm asking, because this little problem screws up 
Kerberos...
