Well, we can invent the jail naming like

jail -N foo ...
jail -N bar ...

Then the first jail will have name ``foo'' and second one will be ``bar''
and the names will not depend on JIDs. Also we can require that name should
start with letter, not digit so we always will know if we are dealing with a
JID or with a name. And if jail has the name the corresponding sysctl subtree
will be ``jail.<NAME>'', otherwise ``jail.<JID>''.

Names are persistent between reboots so a problem disappears.

Looks like it is easy to implement as well. Could it be a right way to go?

Sicerely,
Alex Semenyaka
