No, I'd prefer for these addresses to be handled by the jail
infrastructure. That is, I want an address to appear when the
corresponding jail goes up, and to disapper when the jail is shut down.

I don't want it persistent. If a jail is shut down but its address
persists, it can have undesirable consequences of it suddenly pointing
at the host system.
