I want each jail to have a different MAC [1]. Since I live in a level 2
network (i.e. we only do Ethernet switching, and no IP routing), it
would be easy to see that the host and its jail(s) are on the same
system since they share the same MAC. I want to make the jail appear as
a completely different host from the point of vue of the rest of the
network.

Yes, I saw that on the first article on jails I read :-). But packets
from alias0 will still have the same MAC as em0, which I don't want. The
obvious 'ifconfig em0 ether xx.xx.xx alias' won't work, it replaces
em0's MAC.

[1] MAC as in Media Access Control aka Ethernet address, we're not
    discussing mandatory access control.
