On this subject...

I was browsing the amd sources today, and discovered that it uses
0.0.0.0 as the loopback address:

afs_ops.c: line 145 ff.
        /*
         * Create sockaddr to point to the local machine.  127.0.0.1
         * is not used since that will not work in HP-UX clusters and
         * this is no more expensive.
         */
        bzero((voidp) &sin, sizeof(sin));

A glance at the following code indicates that the comment appears to 
be accurate.
