Dear Joe Barbish (alias  fbsd8@a1poweruser.com),

When you going to stop trolling the FreeBSD mailing list and spread
disinformation? For anyone interested please check this mail thread on who
fbsd8 really is:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-jail//2013-March/002147.html

Very telling isn't it!

People come to this place to learn, share information, help out other folks
and most importantly to have a constructive debate! (obviously some would
rather divert this effort)

The PR number's mentioned are mostly outdated from the 8.x and 9.x series -
some of them are completely irrelevant (like ACPI) or for a i386 system.
Beyond this I am categorically refusing to waste any energy and time on
answering any trolling/diversion attempts by Joe Barbish.
Most importantly I encourage anyone avoiding his dubious Qjail project by
far - for details please check the link above.

I am not going to burn time on dissecting each PR one-by-one but rather
share my experience with VNET.

Over the last year and a half have deployed numerous production systems
based on amd64 10-RELEASE with VNET enabled and PF running on the host.
Encountered 0 instability issues! Details on how to do this are here:
http://iocage.readthedocs.org/en/latest/real-world.html

As I mentioned before IPFW works in a jail and PF only works on the host.

Back to the original issue though, Peter could you please share your IPFW
config with me (maybe just send it directly to me), would be very
interested to get it going in my lab setup and add a howto page to share
this with others.

Cheers,
Peter
