A router has nothing to do with the loopback address. When you talk
about a router supporting loopback, it refers to a very different
feature that has nothing to do with the problem here. When you use an IP
address that starts with 127, traffic will never get to the router in
the first place; it will not even leave your machine.
In most cases, bacula traffic won't go through a router in the first
place; most people probably have the sd, fd and director all on the same
network (that's not always true, just a rule of thumb).
