No worries. I'm glad it finally got going for you.

Check file permissions for both, the jail and main OS:

# ls -l /etc/rc.conf
# ls -l /usr/local/jails/test/etc/rc.conf

They both should be 644.


Also check the logs:
/var/log/jail_test_console.log
/var/log/messages

Yes they are identical because they both share the same network card.

In your case this is only one computer with multiple IPs (aliases). This 
is normal behaviour.

As of sharing the Internet connection, well it all depends on your 
resources and how you design the system. For instance, in some 
situations (single interface hosts) I bind my jails to lo0 and then use 
NAT to share the Internet. If you have access to multiple public IPs 
then you can bind jails directly to the public interface.


+------ eth0 ------+
|                  |
|       lo0        |
|                  |
+------------------+


In other situations, where jails should be reached from the LAN, I bind 
them to the interface that faces the LAN (eth1) instead of lo0 or the 
Internet (eth0) and NAT is also used here.


+------ eth0 ------+
|                  |
|       lo0        |
|                  |
+------ eth1 ------+


Basically everything depends on your needs and goals.



Regards,
Mikhail.
