In my opinion, this would be a _VERY_ good 'feature' to add into the system.
As it stands there is minimal 'networking' in a jail from a users point of
view, and also an administrators view aswell (granted this isnt exactly what
jail was designed to do, and so on). This could be more then an asset to the
whole jail architecture, by providing a clone-able network stack within
jails. For instance, you could then run programs/services like NFS etc from
jail to jail without having to lock down services offered from the jail
'host'.

If this can in _any way_ be pushed/implemented (with minimal distruption) so
that is it in HEAD/CURRENT then its well on the way to complementing what
'jail' does.

This is one thing that I would like to use, without patching systems. But
then thats just my 'wish list' opinion of it.

Regards,

James.
