[ x] Feature request
[ ] Bug report
[ ] Documentation

I would love to have a Local Only bool for Device Services.
I have a lot of Servers with localhost only services which need to be registered.
But to achieve this i'd have to assign a localhost interface + localhost ips to each and every server - is this the intended way?
This would make a great addition to "All IPs", "Specific IPs Only"

What is your motivation behind recording services which are only locally-accessible in NetBox?

@jeremystretch: Mine is that it give my monitoring system information about what sockets should be open on the host when I run something like netstat -ntap

I try to use netbox as a transparent documentation.
I have apache running locally on a lot of maschines and other services redirecting to this locally running instance.

If you need to model services which are only locally accessible, the canonical approach would be to create lo0 or its analog, assign it 127.0.0.1/8 and/or ::1/128, and assign the local services to those IPs. Granted, this is more work, but that's how the services operate in reality, so that's how we'd model them in NetBox.
