That's because 10.1.1.2 is a local address for jail bar and all local addresses are reachable via lo0. Keep in mind that this is the vnet's lo0 and has nothing to do with the host's lo0. Just "up" your vnet's lo0 interface and everything will be ok. The lo0 loopback interface is prerequisite for networking. HTH, Nikos
