No. Your jail is assigned it's ip address when you create it. The alias 
gives the jail network access when you start the jail. Both ip address 
must match.

Just assign the jail your public ip address when you create it.

"face the public" is a very large subject, which the answer depends on 
your hardware configuration, registered domain names and static ip 
addresses.

Using jails requires the host system administrator to be well trained in 
networks and how public and private networks function. Jail 
documentation is not going to teach you this.
