Hi!
When I create an epair and pu one end inside a jail, and give that
interface an IP address, the jail still seems to want to use the lo0
interface to route traffic to that interface on the inside.
Everything else works, I can set up bridges just like it would be an
ethernet switch, add services on the inside, it is all fine, except this
little annoying bug(?).
See here:

[root@hostname /home/girgen]# jexec bar route -n get 10.1.1.2

[root@hostname /home/girgen]#
Now why would the jail think that lo0 is the way to go to find 10.1.1.2?
This is a minimal setup, adding an outside address, routing and all
other things work, but the jail still tries lo0 to contact itself, no
matter if it is ping or regular tcp traffic. Is this a bug or am I
missing something? The jail can ping any address in the world, but
cannot contact itself.
Ideas?
