I think you will need to remove 127.0.0.1

Just use 192.168.1.2/24

There is no 127.0.0.1 on a jailed system

This is the output of ifconfig on my jail server

bge0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
        options=9b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM>
        ether 00:19:bb:d1:66:06
        inet 192.168.100.200 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.100.255
        inet 192.168.100.201 netmask 0xffffffff broadcast 192.168.100.201
        inet 192.168.100.202 netmask 0xffffffff broadcast 192.168.100.202
        inet 192.168.100.203 netmask 0xffffffff broadcast 192.168.100.203
        inet 192.168.100.204 netmask 0xffffffff broadcast 192.168.100.204
        media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
        status: active
pflog0: flags=0<> metric 0 mtu 33204
pfsync0: flags=0<> metric 0 mtu 1460
        syncpeer: 224.0.0.240 maxupd: 128
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 16384
        inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x4
        inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128
        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000

and here it is from my jailed server

bge0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
        options=9b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM>
        ether 00:19:bb:d1:66:06
        inet 192.168.100.202 netmask 0xffffffff broadcast 192.168.100.202
        media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
        status: active
pflog0: flags=0<> metric 0 mtu 33204
pfsync0: flags=0<> metric 0 mtu 1460
        syncpeer: 224.0.0.240 maxupd: 128
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 16384

as you can see the interface lo0 is there but no ip 127.0.0.1
