Setting up LocalHost and LocalNet

| The first listed host in the Localhost section of the configuration
| file is used in the URLs that are created by some of the internal
| WWWOFFLE web-pages.  This means that if you use them in the order that
| you suggest you will see URLs like 'http://127.0.0.1:8080/...' which
| will only work from one machine (the one running WWWOFFLE) and not
| other machines on the network.
 
ok.
 
| Obviously if you only have one machine on the network then this is not
| a problem.  But if you only had one machine you wouldn't need two IP
| addresses.

Now i tried another thing,  'woody.lan1`as first entry.
This worked well from other hosts (with host alias definitions).

However, on the the wwwoffled box itself, browser (firefox) doesn't finish loading, 
even though all content is delivered (afaics), the connection doesn't seem to get closed.
It appears also that the cache-info doesn't come up though the option is checked.
Here's the life-http-header from firefox, with wwwoffle online:

It's working always ok if i set only 'woody' as the first entry.
'woody' is an alias for localhost 127.0.0.1 on this box.
There's no such delay when i reload in wwwoffle-offline mode,
and the same page seems to be complete.
Since i set hostaliases on other win boxes too, 'woody:8080' also 
is ok there.

Here are some relevant config sections:

(I've no header censoring and no proxy)

 bind-ipv4         = 0.0.0.0
 socket-timeout        = 100
 dns-timeout           = 30
 connect-timeout       = 30
 connect-retry         = yes
 reply-compressed-data = yes
 reply-chunked-data = yes

 request-chunked-data = yes
 validate-with-etag = yes
 request-conditional = yes
 pragma-no-cache = yes
 cache-control-no-cache = yes
 cache-control-max-age-0 = yes
 cookies-force-refresh = yes
 request-expired = yes
 request-changed-once  = no
 request-no-cache      = yes
 request-changed = 0
 request-conditional = yes
 request-redirection   = no
 try-without-password  = no
 keep-cache-if-not-found = yes
 intr-download-keep    = yes
 intr-download-size    = 1
 intr-download-percent = 50
 timeout-download-keep = yes
 request-compressed-data = yes

LocalHost
{
 woody 		# this works, where woody.lan1 doesn't finish connection (no cache-info)
 localhost
 127.0.0.1
 woody.lan1
 192.168.1.33
 ip6-localhost
 ::ffff:127.0.0.1
 ::1
}


When i connect to wwwoffled from another box via cable, 
traffic flows through a switch connected to the router.
In this case (cable connection) i'd expect the switch to exchange packets
directly between the boxes (like ptp) am i right ? I admit never tested this,
since router firewall is configured to let anything hit my main box unfiltered.
This one runs sophisticated iptables which are rather open though, 
doing merely detailed logging. I'm just curious ;) 
( Running servers are paranoid configured, of course.)
