VPN and Loopback interface

[tin.ngo]

I am setting site-to-site VPN b/t Pix and cisco router. I currently don't have a network behind the Cisco router so I cam creating a loopback interface on the router for testing. When testing, I can see tunnel build but I can not get to the lopback interface on the router from a network behind the PIX.

Question: Is it possible to use the loop back interface as interesting traffic inside the tunnel or does it have to be on a network outside the router? Thanks.

Thank you for all the responses. After your confirmation that using Loopback was Ok, I found the problem in my config. I did not have a route from the router back to the remote network behind the PIX.

Cheers.
