XP SP2 changes localhost 127.0.0.1 usage

Before Service Pack 2, not only 127.0.0.1, but also 127.0.0.x would provide access to the 'localhost'. Anyone know how I can re-enable 127.0.0.x as my local hosts?

I use the extra addresses with Apache to point to different test Web sites on my Windows PC using Virtualhosts in httpd.conf (Since I am not using domain names, I made no changes to the Windows hosts file), for example:

Code:
<virtualhost 127.0.0.22>
ServerName localhost
ServerAdmin admin@localhost
DocumentRoot "C:\web\test"
</virtualhost>
