Does this updated network-bridge, like my patch posted to this list on 
10/14 under the title "[PATCH] network-bridge script support for 
multiple external interfaces", allow support for multiple loopback 
interfaces?

I have a situation where my Xen host has physical interfaces on multiple 
networks and gives Xen instances access to one or the other based on 
where they're supposed to be; this implies modifying all the hardcoded 
references to veth0 or vif0.0.
