You need to look at your routing tables.  From inside the jail, run
"netstat -rn -f inet".  You probably won't see any entry for 127.0.0.1
or 127.0.0.0/8.  Those are the entries that your jail needs in order
to talk to the base system.  You can add them, but think carefully.
Many server processes, such as ntpd, have reduced security for
connections coming over 127.0.0.1.  Whether or not it is appropriate
to add those routes depends on why you are using a jail.
