AFAIK you won't be able to do that with jails. Mainly because:

Modifying the network configuration, including interfaces, addresses and
routing table, is prohibited. Accessing raw, divert and routing sockets are
prohibited. For example, a jail is bound to only one IP address and firewall
rules cannot be changed.
