No.  The host firewall handles all of the incoming traffic before it
gets to the jail.

Unless you are using VIMAGE, when the jail can have its own separate
network stack and firewall (ipfw only at the moment -- it crashes and
burns in combination with pf).  VIMAGE is experimental still and
shouldn't be used on anything important.

Cheers,

Matthew

Just where do jails fall in reference to the host firewall?
Do jails see the inbound packets before the host's firewall does?
