If you're using Linux, you have the option of using aliases on an 
interface, which the kernel will short-circuit and not emit packets onto 
the network.

It would also be possible to do this with the loopback (lo) interface. 
AIX supports interface aliasing, and I think that most modern *NIXes do 
it in one way or another.
