How to deal with login attempts coming from 1-127.0.01 and what does it means? Recently on my drupal 7 site happens that i find the admin account blocked. Looking to the flood table i see a lot of failed login attempts from ip "1-127.0.0.1". It's an external attack or something not working in my site? The fact that the ip the request comes from is 'localhost' is confusing me. In both cases, how to deal with this problem?
After attempt five login drupal block account automatically 


Install the Flood module flood_control
Enable the Flood module

Flood Control


  This project is intended to add an administration interface for hidden
  flood control variables in Drupal 7, like the login attempt limiters
  and any future hidden variables.


Flood Unblock


  This module makes it possible for site administrators to remove
  ip-adresses from the flood table, or to remove all ip-adresses from
  the table depending on the event type.
