I finally took a closer look on this.

Unfortunately, I was not able to set this up within the jails but what I
did was installing dns/unbound on the host and set it as IPv4 and IPv6
name server in each jail in `/etc/resolv.conf`.

Is there a good reason why not to do this and prefer the local_unbound
version in each jail as described by Trond (thanks again)? Maybe because
of security concerns?
