What about network virtualization for jails?

[Shawn Webb]

I don't really know much about how using vnet with jails will affect
NFS services. I would suggest setting up a test environment before
attempting anything on production servers.

Please also note that my jail admin project is written mainly to fit
my particular use-case, but I'll always gladly accept patches if
another use-case needs to be addressed.

Thanks,

Shawn
