If you're running a newer kernel you could run it in an lxc container and give
it it's own IP address btw.

Subject: Re: [PLUG] Having chroot Problems with MySQL and Locales
Problem solved. I installed syslog-ng to get better logging, and found this
once I tried to start mysql in the chroot:
Jun 2 20:58:00 orca mysqld[19435]: 100602 20:58:00 [ERROR] Can't start
server: Bind on TCP/IP port: Address already in use
The doh! moment of the day......mysql was running on the 64 bit squeeze side
of the chroot jail. Once I stopped it, mysql in the chroot had no problem
starting.
Moral of the story.....install syslog-ng to find the doh! moments...;-)
