Hi,

freebsd-jail@ is a good place to ask jail questiosn as well.

For some strange reason, RAW sockets (when allowed) and TCP beheave
very differently in jail (7.1-PRERELEASE). In host's rc.conf:

jail_enable="YES"
jail_list="test"
jail_devfs_enable="YES"
jail_test_rootdir="/mnt/big/jail/test"
jail_test_hostname="myname.ru"
jail_test_ip="192.168.0.1"
jail_test_interface="lo0"

"/etc/rc.d/jail start" does all right and I may rlogin into jail.

In host environment I run tcpdump -np -i lo0.
Inside jail I ping 127.0.0.1, it succeedes and tcpdump shows that requests
go from 192.168.0.1 to 127.0.0.1 really. But when I try to telnet 127.0.0.1 25
from jail, tcpdump shows that TCP SYN are sent to 192.168.0.1, so telnet fails.

There is no NAT here. It it a bug?

What happens with TCP is the expected behaviour.  I wonder more about
the raw socket case and am not sure this is correct.

jails try to "simulate" the non-existing loopback by re-writing the
IPs to the jail-IP, which obviously has other implications.
You should never be able to connect from inside the jail to the base
systems 127.0.0.1 loopback IP. This is a known "feature" (limitation)
of jails. Full network stack virtualization will no longer have that
problem.
