I'm not convinced vimage is the only kind of network virtualization we 
want to give the option of.  The IP addresses assigned to jails seems a 
lighter weight alternative, and allows some things that vimage doesn't 
do easily, such as system processes that listen on the virtual addresses 
for some services, leaving the jail to handle others.
