[KLUG Members] Network speed question.

[Bruce Smith]

Please settle a disagreement I'm having with a tech support person.

I have a package, who's configuration needs to know the location 
(server IP) of a separate service it needs.

The service happens to be running on the same box.  Will it run faster
to specify the IP "127.0.0.1" as opposed to the IP or DNS name of eth0?

Now pretend the server is Window 2003 instead of Linux.  Same question.
