Subject:   Jail source address selection in 8.1-RELEASE
Message-ID:  <4CED50E0.7020205@comcast.net>

Hi,
There appears to be a loosely documented sysctl 
'security.jail.param.ip4.saddrsel' which should limit source IP 
selection of jails to their primary jail interface/IP.  The sysctl does 
not appear to do anything, however:

# sysctl security.jail.param.ip4.saddrsel=0
  ->
# echo $?
0
# sysctl security.jail.param.ip4.saddrsel
#
# sysctl -d security.jail.param.ip4.saddrsel
security.jail.param.ip4.saddrsel: Do (not) use IPv4 source address 
selection rather than the primary jail IPv4 address.

Is this tunable only available when VIMAGE jails are built? The 
8.1-RELEASE Release Notes suggest it is for VIMAGE jail(8) containers, 
while 7.3-RELEASE Release Notes suggest that it is available for the 
entire jail(8) subsystem as 'security.jail.ip4_saddrsel', a different OID.
