FreeBSD-7.0 MULTIPLE-IPs

[Isaac Levy]

Hello Alexus,

I haven't been very close to this lately, so I may be stepping out of  
turn- but there's one big reason: The Virtual IP stack implementation  
underway (separate from the jail mechanism, but of course, QUITE  
perfect for jailing uses).

I first learned Marko Zec's work on the virtual IP stack at EuroBSDCon  
2007:
http://2007.eurobsdcon.org/tutorial-virtualized-network-stack.html

However, Bjoern Zeeb has resumed a jail-specific multi-ip  
implimentation- the current status seems to be updated soemwhat  
frequently here (yay!):
http://wiki.freebsd.org/Jails#head-27743b977485318e421b24962498cf007f70dacf

"The multi-IPv4/v6 jails project was resumed in early January after  
previous work had been abandoned in 2006.
As an alternate solution to full network stack virtualization, this  
work shall provide a lightweight solution for multi-IP virtualization.  
Perforce
based on FreeBSD 7.x?/8.x"

Sadly for you however, at the time of this writing, it seems the 7.x  
patches are 'in progress'.

--
To answer the dragonfly jail patch question- Dragonfly is a fork of  
the 4.x FreeBSD code, and with that, is now extremely different from  
FreeBSD 5.x onward.  Therefore, many patches from the 4.x era code are  
straight inline with Dragonfly.

Hope that answers your question or provides some direction, even if  
the answer doesn't meet your needs.

Best,
.ike
