here is an extract from one of my jail configs which shows a few other
things to play with. Remember vnet and pf dont play at present.


     # Typical static defaults:
     # Use the rc scripts to start and stop jails.  Mount jail's /dev.
     exec.start = "/bin/sh /etc/rc";
     exec.stop = "/bin/sh /etc/rc.shutdown";
     exec.clean;
     mount.devfs;


     # Dynamic wildcard parameter:
     # Base the path off the jail name.
     path = "/jails/$name";


     emby {
             host.hostname = "emby.intranet";
             vnet.interface = emby_a;
             vnet;
             exec.prestart  = "ifconfig emby_a destroy || true ";
             exec.prestart  += "ifconfig emby_b destroy || true";
             exec.prestart  += "ifconfig epair8 create up";
             exec.prestart  += "ifconfig epair8a name emby_a";
             exec.prestart  += "ifconfig epair8b name emby_b";
             exec.prestart  += "ifconfig emby_b up";
             exec.prestart  += "ifconfig bridge0 addm emby_b";
             exec.prestart  += "ifconfig emby_a ether 02:ff:25:fc:05:da";
             exec.prestart  += " df | grep -q  /jails/emby/videos ||  mount
-t nullfs -o rw /videos /jails/emby/videos/";
             exec.poststop  = "ifconfig emby_a destroy";
             exec.poststop  += "ifconfig emby_b destroy";
             exec.poststop += "/sbin/umount /jails/emby/videos || true ";
             exec.start += "/sbin/dhclient emby_a";
             exec.start += "ifconfig emby_a inet6 accept_rtadv";
             exec.start += "/etc/rc.d/rtsold start";
        }
