Returns 1 if address is a loopback address and 0 otherwise. address should be an IP address or name that can be resolved by DNS.

Internet Protocol Version 4 officially reserves 127.0.0.0 through 127.255.255.255 for loopback addresses, but 127.0.0.1 is known as the lookpack address. Messages sent to the loopback address are intercepted and delivered back to the sender, which means they never end up on the network.
