  I don't know what that means.

  localhost is 127.0.0.1, or more pedantically 127/8.  Do you have multiple clients, all of which have "ipaddr = 127.0.0.1"?

  Or do you have something like:

client locahost {
  ipaddr = 1.2.3.4
  ...
}

client localhost {
   ipaddr = 5.6.7.8
  ...
}

  Define *what*?  I really have no idea what you're getting at.

  Please give *details* and *useful information*.  And perhaps even DEBUG OUTPUT.

  If you're not going to do that, then there isn't much point in anyone answering your questions.  You're just ignoring what we're saying, and repeating the same vague phrasing of "I'm trying to do stuff, and it doesn't work.  How do I fix stuff?"

  Answer: I dunno.  Do other stuff.
