I see a logical flaw that would make that somewhat difficult. Since the point of IP addresses are supposed to be unique (let's not get into rfc1918 addresses, or my localhost has your localhost IP), how can that be safely determined? Now, if it was 127.0.0.10 on the host, and 127.0.0.1 on the jail, and 127.0.0.2 on a 2nd jail, etc -- that could work. can you trick cPanel by using /etc/hosts to say localhost (name of a machine) maps to your jail's IP? Can you provide any other workaround that will allow such scripts to dynamically and correctly find the information they're looking for? Couple ideas, HTH --Tim
