More curiosity than necessity at this point.

Basically yes although not specifically jails(only problem I had with jails
networking was the multiple subnet bug, but that's fixed now).  I started
thinking about this originally when playing around with virtualbox, but the
lack of bridged networking crippled any real virtual environment
development.  It's not a top priority and I was mostly wondering if I had
found a bug.  Being modestly aware of my ignorance, I thought I would see if
I was doing something wrong or if my understanding is flawed.

I really don't need anything, I just wanted to know if the steps I'd taken
should work and it's a bug, or if I still need some learnin.
