You know, I first thought of this, but then I backed off it. The problem is that the addres is passed in as a 32 bit int, not as the address of a sockaddr_in. I think it would take a lot of work to make the jail code IPv6-safe. You'd have to talk to Poul for details, but it's pretty clear that the "splitting" of the virtual address aliases per jail on the interface(s) in question is very IPv4 specific, right now. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
