Why loopback interface showed as lo0?
Why having multiple loopback interfaces?
Not sure if it's possible to have more than one loopback interface but 
on the other hand to not have a '0' appended to the name would mean 
extra coding to handle the special case of the loopback-interface. It's 
easier to just pretend that it's a normal NIC just like any other 
(though the driver does not require any special hardware).

That's my guess anyway.
