Nikos > i do not really have a complete plan at the moment but an idea to use a jail on my remote system as a sandbox. i mean i would like to set up a jail and use it (sometimes) as client / virtual machine in a remote network through some kind of tunneling without any modification to the base system and sometimes as a regular host to test and compile some completelydifferent stuff. i suspect that it is impossible but it might look like as configuring a pseudo device (eg gre) and use only pure ip traffic through the base system's nat until the jail's endpoint. to be honest i am pretty new to freebsd jails so i might be wromg. so please correct me if you know more. :) of course the best solution would be to use true virtualization. anyway do you know anything about the xen dom0 status on freebsd x86 smp? :) andras
