My inital problem turned out to be the fact i never aliased the ip, adding lines to /etc/rc.conf:

ifconfig_em0_alias0="inet 192.168.0.101/32"
ifconfig_em0_alias1="inet 192.168.0.102/32"

fixed my problem, now, I've another query. I would like to do a clean install of the 64bit 8.0 when it comes available, I've been running the i386 OS on the machine for a cpl years, and am using 7.2. What I would like to do is set up a 'backup' box if you will, I have this old 1.8 P4 laying around doing nothing, I'd like to set this box up as a mirror, if you will, of my current setup which is 2 IRC servers, IRC related services, Apache, Version Control, DB, etc etc. with each service it it's own jail. Once this 'mirror' is up, with 8.0-RELEASE i386 installed, I'd take down the server, blow out the dust build up and install the setup with 64 bit. That said, I'd like to just take ezjail-admin archive feature to backup each services jail. My question is, is it feasible to then extract the i386 jail archives on the new 64bit system and run ezjail-admin update, or would the arch differences prevent this from working. (IE: rebuild each jail just using the working configs from the 'mirror' environment, since I structure will all be the same.) My idea here, aside from more hours of geek time to log, is to prevent any downtime at all, with the mirror system, while the actual server is redone, cleaned and moved. Man, it's good to have the BUG back!! :)
