It have to be took in consideration before production time at least ;)

I think the main host is never 'only' on localhost, since you must add
interfaces and addresses for the different jails it hosts, and those
interfaces are used by host's routing table...

The IP addresses you use for jails are usable by main host, and routing
table of main host is used to route jail's packets... so any jail you
host can use any other jail's route. (if you have only localhost on main
an *only one* interface for all jour jails, it doesn't hurt).

In our case, one of our jail host is using pf's 'route-to' to re-route
packets going to 'forbidden' interface from jails.
