Disabling this is very risky as it leaves you open to reflection attacks on the local server. Disabling this on a virtual or test environment wouldn't be a problem I suspect but on production its a huge risk. This link provides a good alternative to loop backs being disabled: - support.microsoft.com/.../896861Anonymous
