This is probably a dumb question but I am trying to redirect a SharePoint Web Server to itself so that there is no double hopping to any other SharePoint boxes.

Hosts file currently is something like:

Code:
127.0.0.1        mywebapplication.com
10.11.12.13     mywebapplication.com

The second line is the IP address of the server itself. Is there likely to be any issues with using both localhost and also the machine IP address to point to the same web application url?

We are noticing random prompts for credentials and I'm wondering would this be why?
 
It will never get to the second line. You can't have multiple entries to the same hostname in the HOSTS file. Just use the second entry.
