(Get the code!)
Great suggestion, Mathieu -- unfortunately, NM overwrote all the 127.0.0.n lines (not just 127.0.0.1), so back to the drawing board. I can't think of any way to do this without setting up a full DNS server just for my laptop. I'm betting there are a lot of other people doing web development who will discover the same problem.
This bit of NM behaviour was modified not because anything was wrong, but because someone wanted to enforce a rigid idea of how loopback is supposed to work, and erase anything in /etc/hosts that didn't match that idea. I hate solutions based on dogma instead of problem-solving.
