The jails are on the host with LAN behind it and with ipf firewall which
allows out anything coming from LAN private ip address. I was not able
to get this to work until I discovered the jail needed a copy of the
hosts /etc/resolv.conf. Now it works without any special tweaks, and the
dymanic ip address changing causes no problems.
