I had planned to have a patch for multiv4/v6 jails last month but  
it's not

yet publicly available. I have sent it off to some people for review.

In case the above is a successor of pjd's multi-ip v4 jail patch I can
give you a plain forward port to a FreeBSD 7 system (which might have
possible locking issues I have never experienced).

All depends on how quickly you need it.



Hello, thanks for your answer.

Yep, the patch i've been using on 6 looks very much like pjd's (http://people.freebsd.org/~pjd/patches/mijail5.patch 
). Are you using this Fbsd7-port, or do you have any idea if anyone  
does/how much it have been tested?


I have no need for IPv6 right now, so if nothing else, I'd be glad to  
test the 7-port of pjd's to see if it works. That sounds kindof what I  
thought to do so.. :)


Thank you!
