Loopback and jail.conf

Hi,

I'm trying to use the new jail.conf configuration for several jails on a single host.
Due to some software limitations I need to have the loopback set on all jails, e.i. for each jail I need something like:

lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 16384
        options=600003<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,RXCSUM_IPV6,TXCSUM_IPV6>
        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000

How may I achieve this with the new jail.conf configuration.
As far as I understand so far the jails have 2 options:
- non-overlapping IP addresses (or)
- overlapping the only network interface

As I use 2 network interfaces - em0 on 192.168.0.x and 127.0.0.1 on loopback the both options are no good for me.

Is there some way to achieve my goal ?

Best regards,
