Multiple IPs in jail

It would be AWESOME if FreeBSD supported multiple IPs per jail.
In my opinion, this is one of FreeBSD's greatest disadvantages on the
virtual server market, as some specific customers will always require
multiple IPs (shell providers for one).

Also, interface virtualization and firewalls inside jails would be another
killer feature.. I believe 4.10 now has a working patch which lets this
happen.. Multiple IP jails + Interface virtualization/firewalls per jails
would bring FreeBSD even further on the server market.

I think this should be worked for the 5.4-RELEASE.

Just my 2 cents.
