Yes, like Free- and OpenBSD. So I am guessing that you cannot do routing
domains and VRFs with Alpine then?

Do you mean like on freebsd where you can have lo0, lo1 and so on? In this sense I guess no. But you can create additional network namespaces and each of those namespaces gets its own loopback interface. You could probably also create a bridge interface, set it up, add an address to it and use that as a loopback, but ymmv.

I wouldn't dismiss it so quickly, I'm pretty sure it could be done with network namespaces and veth interfaces. But maybe someone else on the list has more experience.

AFAIK, you can't. This is not related to alpine but to the kernel. But why would
you need an additional loopback interface? You could either use multiple IPs on
the existing loopback interface, or alternatively add some dummy or bridge
interfaces.
