Hello there,

I'm responding to conf/142972: [jail] [patch] Support JAILv2 and vnet in rc=

I understand, that /etc/rc.d/jail is currently far more than a "rc-script"
should be. But I like to use it with traditional jails, it works good
for me even with ifconfig and so on.

I'm about planning our[1] "next generation" jailhosting platform based on
FreeBSD 9 and with vimage support, maybe hierachical jails. Multiple-IP,
v4+v6, ... I don't know yet what and how...=20

My idea is something like that:

* The host is booting several jails with epair-support.=20
* I don't exactly how to configure epair in existing /etc/rc.d/*
* Each Jails will do it's own (local) IP setup on startup using local
  /etc/rc.conf , so the host just needs to know about subnets... maybe.
* I'd like to have something which fits into /etc/rc.d/ and will be
  configured through /etc/rc.conf

What is best practise here? Are there any standards or prototypes yet=20
or do I have to invent my own wheel here? I hope not!

Hints and Howtos will be highly appreciated.

Best Regards
Raphael Eiselstein
