yes I should imagine so,  127.0.0.1 is just the ip number the machine 
you are using, I think if you just write a script to listen on a port on 
127.0.0.1 it will work fine and then you can write one to connect to 
that port on 127.0.0.1. it will work, that'd be why it;s there.  But to 
use it as some kind of data multiplexer it's not going to just happen on 
it's own I dont think , you'll have to write a script to act as a small 
service that receives data on one port and send it to  a number of ports 
(all on 127.0.0.1 if you want)  to which you have had your service fork 
senders on to give multiple copies of the in-ported data to receiving 
clients.

Or something like that.
