There is no such thing as 127.0.0.1 in a FreeBSD Jail. There is just the IP, which the Jail is configured for. I am not a developer, but as far as I understand, a Jail and its IP, is some kind of virtualization, which can not contain any virtualized environment inside itself again. At least not in 6.x So it looks that 127.0.0.1 would be an additional IP like any other one, which is NOT possible in FreeBSD Jails. I read promising things about a fully virtualized IP environment in FreeBSD 7.x, where we can do a lot more than this, but we have to wait for that. After I realized that, I redesigned my plans and I liked them even better. My DJB-DNS setup is now as follows, and works flawless. dnscache runs in its own Jail in every physical machine, caching DNS queries for all other Jails on the same machine. Two copies of TinyDNS run each in its own Jail too. Providing a (rather expensive) Split-Horizon DNS Solution. Hope this helps Regards Alain
