I thought the more generic "nesting" would be a good thing, because the next guy might want to control Docker instances or Containers on a remote host without them having a public IP. Maybe I'll try to write a connection plugin.
@Karl: This is not possible, because some of the Jails don't even run SSH. You SSH into the Host and run commands inside the jails via "jexec".
