That's a neat trick I was unaware of (use of dev lo). Using dev eth0:??
allows for some interesting source address games though. I've used this
a few times to get through our paranoid router on systems that are
normally packet filtered away from the net.
route add default gw blah dev eth0:0
Now my packets all have eth0:0's IP as their source address.
