Only if you enable IPv6. ie. you put:

a link-local IPv6 address configured, and lo0 will get the ::1 address applied
to it. See /etc/rc.d/ip6addrctl /etc/rc.d/network_ipv6 for the gory details.
That notation is in my rc.conf file. It was put there by sysinstall when
I first installed the system.
So, shouldn't it resolve to something or is it working the way it is
designed too?
Hmmm... what does:
ifconfig lo0
return? You should actually see two IPv6 addresses configured, like so:
happy-idiot-talk:~:% ifconfig lo0
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128
inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
Also your original test was connecting to a SMTP server on the
loopback. What does:
sockstat | grep :25
return? Seeing ::1:25 in the output would be good. However, it is
entirely possible that your MTA isn't binding to IPv6 addresses.
If you're trying to make lpd(8) work, you should be looking for stuff
listening on port 515.
Cheers,
Matthew
