it's not Vimage vs Jails
but
Vimage as part of Jails.

Actually it IS now all one utility...
Add the 'vnet' option to jail to get it to create a new vnet withthe 
jail, otherwise it acts as before.

can you expand on that?

example comand lines include:
jail -c host.hostname=test path=/ vnet command=/bin/tcsh
( make a jail with the same root as normal but with a separate
network stack.)


jail -c host.hostname=test path=/ vnet children.max=4 \
            command=/bin/tcsh
(same as above, excep the jail made is in turn able to make
up to 4 child jails
