Ok, so the behaviour I'm seeing regarding the communication between jail and base system is to be expected then. My reason for posting it was, that I was unsure whether it might have anything to do with the main problem. I don't think that this is the case so the question remains, why is my FreeBSD server sometimes using the router for contacting hosts on the local network? Regards, Antonhome | help
