 > How do I go about telling Apache that localhost == 127.0.0.1 ?

 I'm not sure, I think it may be a PHP thing, Specifically, I think when it
 see's localhost its not doing HTTP... or something weird.

 In the request classes it might be worth either:
  * If hostname == localhost, Connect to 127.0.0.1, send Host: header as
 localhost
  * Do an IP lookup, eg, request is for google.com - it then looks up the
 IP manually(using the PHP function) and connects to that ip, sending the
 host header as expected.

 number 1 is basically just number 2, but only applied to localhost..
