Wireless Routers with loopback support

I am looking for a good wireless router that supports Loopback. Something that works great as a multi purpose connection for my home network and http server.

 
You could try to find a used Cisco router FS. If you only need two ethernet ports (one facing ISP and one facing home network) then you should be able to find one pretty cheaply. Cisco routers support addressable loopback virtual interfaces. You'll need to know how to program IOS however.

I bought a 2501 for $75 about two years ago. This wouldn't be the router for you, but you get the idea.
 
Cash isnt so much the issue as I want to avoid overkill and actually be able to type in my own dam URL and have the site load on the computer the server is on. This at least lets me know that the server is active online. Someone showd me a trick of adding the VPN address in the registery, so when I type in the URL the site comes up. Oooh big deal,, I said,, This doesnt tell me that the domain name is steering proper.

I am sure there are other ways to accomplish testing the steering. What could possibley be any easier than typing the Domain in the browser and having the site pop up?
