I found my own answer, I did some searching and found the -m option for 
the jail command, and was able to add an IP to a jail on my test system. 
Think I am still going to wait on the production system and restart it, 
as I put a typo in the first time and dropped its original IP off on the 
test system. But now I know going forward if I have an urgent reason it 
can be done.
