Why are you doing this? Are your addresses from the same network segment?
I am binding my jail addresses to loopback interface and route them - this way 
you could easily start take-over jail on another machine and change routing 
table (or use dynamic routing) to minimize downtime on hardware upgrades, big 
OS upgrades etc. I do not consider this the best way, but it just satisfy my 
needs.
