I’m very interested in the FIB code, as it lines up well with the way my core networking equipment works and should allow me to route traffic on an interface that’s logically separate from the management interfaces.
to some extent this is what it was written for.. teh fib code was 
written for Ironport/Cisco for separating the management port from the 
data ports onn their appliances, however the VNET code that came later 
is an even cleaner way of doing it and FIBs were only used by Ironport 
because VNET was not yet available.    Have you tried vnet jails for 
interface isolation?
