The jail code maintainer says NFS server/client will not work jailed. So 
since you say this is SOP (standard operation procedure) then why is 
there no documentation available on how to do it? All the Google hits 
for "NFS running from Freebsd jail" end with no one got it to work. Have 
you done this? Do you have a procedure to post or know of a posted 
procedure giving step-by-step sequence to get NFS running in a jail with 
or without VIMAGE/VNET for Release 8.x or 9.x versions?

Still doesn't change the FACT it's experimental!
