<p>I have some accesses from 192.168.0.71 on my apache logs.  I looked up this IP (because my server almost exclusively takes requests from 127.0.0.1, and I saw that it's reserved for "special purposes."  What types of purposes might those be?</p>

<p>Edit:</p>

<p>I didn't tell you, typing 192.168.0.71 brings me straight to my site, just as 127.0.0.1 would.  I just wonder how this is different, then from 127.0.0.1.</p>

192.168.0.71 (Well the entire range 192.168.0.0 – 192.168.255.255) are for private (read. not internet accessible) network IP addresses, so that is from something inside your private network.
