How are you starting the jail? I use this in my boot scripts (single line):
/usr/sbin/jail /u2/xxx.xxx.xxx.195 some.domain.com xxx.xxx.xxx.195 /bin/sh /etc/rc

Yep, I was looking into that and the archives revealed that it was a
non-trivial fix for a minor problem.

If you can't ping the jail's IP from another machine, I'd suspect that the IP
isn't aliased properly. Here's what I've got setup in /etc/rc.conf:
ifconfig_fxp0="inet xxx.xxx.xxx.192 netmask 0xffffff00"
ifconfig_fxp0_alias0="inet xxx.xxx.xxx.193 netmask 0xffffffff"
ifconfig_fxp0_alias1="inet xxx.xxx.xxx.194 netmask 0xffffff00"
ifconfig_fxp0_alias2="inet xxx.xxx.xxx.195 netmask 0xffffff00"
route_0="xxx.xxx.xxx.193 -iface lo0"
route_1="xxx.xxx.xxx.194 -iface lo0"
route_2="xxx.xxx.xxx.195 -iface lo0"
(And yes, I know that one of the aliases has a /32 netmask and the other two
have a /24 - I was experimenting and there doesn't seem to be a difference)
The routes are something I picked up from reading the archives, they allow
processes in the jail to communicate with the host (mysql, in my case).
Another one that caught me was having /etc/resolv.conf setup properly inside
the jail, otherwise things like telnet will sit and spin trying to do hostname
lookups.
