missing 127.0.0.1 (loopback address)

Ubuntu linux, 14.04 (DigitalOcean)

$ ifconfig -a
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 04:01:1f:4c:XX:XX  
          inet addr:128.199.XXX.XXX  Bcast:128.199.XXX.255  Mask:255.255.192.0

          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)

I cannot find 127.0.0.1 in loopback.

Can I recover 127.0.0.1?

$ ping 127.0.0.1
PING 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.

It's no response long time.

$ cat /etc/network/interfaces
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your
# system and how to activate them. For more information, see
# interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
        address 128.199.XXX.XXX
        netmask 255.255.XXX.0
        gateway 128.199.XXX.1
        dns-nameservers 8.8.4.4 8.8.8.8 209.244.0.3

/etc/network/interfaces. it's default.

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo reboot now
