testing 11.0-RC1 vnet jails with ipfilter

Hello list;

Running 11.0-RC1 with only option vimage compiled into the generic kernel.

I can run ipfilter on the host and start vnet jails containing no 
firewalls just fine. But when I try to also have ipfilter run in the 
vnet jail nothing happens. I added this to the vnet jails rc.conf
ipfilter_enable="YES"
ipfilter_rules="/etc/ipf.boot.rules"
ipmon_enable="YES"
ipmon_flags="-Ds"

Then start the vnet jail and its like those ipfilter statements in the 
vnet jails rc.conf are not there. The vnet jails /var/log/messages file 
is not even there. Issuing "ipfstat" inside the running vnet jail to 
display the jails ipfilter rules gives this error message 
"open(IPSTATE_NAME): No such file or directory"
To me this means ipfilter is not running in the vnet jail even though I 
requested it in the vnet jails rc.conf file.

So my question to this list is, has anyone managed to get ipfilter to 
run inside a vnet jail using any of the 11.0 alpha, beta, or rc 
versions? If so would you please share your setup with me?

Maybe I am to close to the bleeding edge for there to be other users in 
the same test loop?

Thanks
