From what I remember jails are mostly designed to partition stuff... for security reasons. What I'd really love to do is split up each service (httpd, postgres, samba/nfs, ldap/nis, asterisk, etc.) into discrete virtual machines. It's too much work trying to make them all play nice on one system, especially during upgrades. As it is right now I don't upgrade any services once a system is in production use.
