Neat, thanks Adam.
gaia:~> ping -S 192.168.2.110 artemis
PING artemis.boltsys.com (192.168.2.102) from 192.168.2.110: 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 192.168.2.102: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.974 ms

^C
As 192.168.2.110 is the jail IP address:
em0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
options=4219b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4,WOL_MAGIC,VLAN_HWTSO>
ether c8:9c:dc:eb:ab:fb
inet 192.168.2.110 netmask 0xffffffff broadcast 192.168.2.110
media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
status: active
I guess it's a jail thingy in kernel. Seems like a bug to me but I could not
even find where the error was coming from. Thank you again. I would (and did
not) get -S from 'man ping' as solving the problem
