localhost->localhost connections

["Zachariah Mully" <zmully@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all-
        I am rather baffled by the output of netstat -an on my realservers. On
each of them, they have about 100+ connections listed like this:
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:36354         127.0.0.1:8009
ESTABLISHED

I have no idea what these connections are doing, but I was thinking that
these are the connections for the no-arp lo interface (this is a LVS-DR
setup) which I have my VIP on? If not then what is opening these
connections?

Thanks again,
Zack
