Guilty as charged M'lud.
However what I recommended was a more-than-slightly hacky way to achieve
three things:
* Something like a loopback address inside the jail. It may be
127.0.0.2 instead of 127.0.0.1 but most software can be persuaded
to use it for loopback style things.
* The ability to map several IPs onto the jailed system by use of
NAT and redirect within firewall rules
* The ability to have a jail with /no/ external IP for when the
paranoia becomes unbearable[*].
Of course, all this will be immediately obsoleted by Marco Zec's work
on virtualizing the IP stack. http://imunes.tel.fer.hr/virtnet/
Cheers,
Matthew
[*] Combine this with a Hardware Load Balancer that does Direct Server
Return and you can have a publicly accessible jailed server with /no
external IP address/.
