Hi Michael, as someone who first encountered jails with FreeBSD 10.0, I got utterly frustrated trying to set them up for IPv6 for example. The thing that bugged me most was that whenever I went looking for help online, I kept on getting posts relating to FreeBSD 8.0 or 9.1, only to find out later "that was deprecated in 10.0"... gggrrrrr
Anyway, I'll be very interested to read what you come up with! Like I said, none of the tutorials or tools that I found covered what I wanted to do, and now, I'm not even sure if it's possible... but that's what I get for not just blindly following the tutorials and being happy with the incomplete results :-| Good luck! Cheers, Steve PS: I tried ezjail, qjail and manual setup... and failed with all three (though, mostly with the networking stuff). I'm using ZFS, and want to set up multiple jail-networks (for development/testing of a peer-to-peer app that chats locally and across sub-nets), separate jails for various, un-related web-services, network daemons (dhcp, dns, smtp/imap) etc. I was also quite interested in beadm(1) and the way it uses a jail to set up a new OS allowing you to then switch from one installation to another by changing the ZFS dataset mountpoint configuration.
