Jail will do pretty much what you want either for fun or profit,
the only thing it doesn't do is quality of service. This means
that if one jail starts pounding at the disks the other jails
will feel the disk get sluggish. But there's other ways of limiting
jails, you can use login.conf to limit user memory and dummynet to
limit per-jail bandwidth.
