- userbinator 9y agoI use 0.0.0.0 which is the defined "invalid" address, so any requests immediately fail.
- bahjoite 9y agoI tried:- echo "0.0.0.0 functionalclam.com" >> /etc/hosts but a subsequent http request for http://functionalclam.com http://functionalclam.com resulted in a page served by the web service listening on localhost. edit: append to, don't clobber /etc/hosts
- baudehlo 9y agoTry 127.0.0.254 then.
- pwdisswordfish 9y agoOr 0.0.0.1, and spare yourself the spurious loopback traffic.
- yjftsjthsd-h 9y agoIs 0.0.0.0/8 unused or something?

- tscs37 9y agoI've found 192.0.2.0 rather useful. It's designated as a test IP range and shouldn't route anywhere useful in normal local networks.
