Generally yes, although nothing in the code tries to (nor should
it try to) enforce it.

I'm not against adding IPv6 functionality to jail(2), my point is
merely that until somebody who has sufficient time & ability to 
fiddle with it does it, it's not going to happen.

The usual rule applies:

"Great idea, why don't you send me patches which does this ?"
