Have you checked that it doesn't go to the router when you
set localhost to the address of your eth0 adapter and that
it does when you set it to 127.0.0.1? I would be very surprised
if the default route was used to resolve route from lo0->eth0.
When you do "netstat -r", your LAN network address should be
listed without a gateway. Gateway should be present only in
the entry with your default route. If that's not so, then yes, you
do have a problem with the network setup.
