The only thing that does not work is the <beep> rc jail_*_interface
knob. Which I again <beepbeepbeep>. Sorry. This is just another reason
to remove this <beep> thing and have someone who needs this by a proper
mgmt solution.


"huynhnguyen":

obviously, as Bill already indicated, you need a patch to have more than
one IP per jail as the current jail system in any version of freebsd only
supports one IP address (see man pages).

If you have the patch compiled in ...

> jail_jail1_interface="bge0, bge1"

remove this and similar lines from your configuration. 
You had the IPs configured on the interfaces already anyway.

> jail_jail1_ip="192.168.1.3, 11.0.0.3"

And remove the white space after the comma.
