This is wrong. The jail can only have one IP so netmask has to be 0xffffffff 
(255.255.255.255)
Do you have something like this on the host?
fconfig_fxp0="inet 10.0.0.202  netmask 0xffffff00"     #host
ifconfig_fxp_alias0="inet 10.0.0.203 netmask 0xffffffff"    #jail 1

This isn't neccessary, since the jail has only that one IP.
IT's important that the host is limited to one address like you wrote a few 
lines above!

Change the IP like I wrote above and everything should be fine.
