many good questions but looking at what you are doing, maybe we should
be asking you the questions.
Certainly firewalling on the outside of the jail makes sense. I've not
used ng_ipfw but it would make sense to do a quick santity check for
every packet leaving each jail.

For several years I've been using netgraph to provide connectivity

Since I'm finally getting the jail server off FreeBSD 9 and solidly
onto 11, I've got the chance to rewrite the scripting of how I'm
handling jail connectivity and am hoping that I can lock things down
a bit better than what I have presently.
The approach I use looks similar to that now in the jail examples.
Basically
/---> ng_eiface_jail1
real_interface = ng_ether <---> ng_bridge <---> ng_eiface_jail2
\---> ng_eiface_jail3
While this works well, it concerns me that the real interface has to
be in promiscuous mode (and have autosrc off).
If one of the service jails is "taken over" then there isn't a way
that I know of to lock out changing the IP address of the interface
it has, or potentially gaining access to another VLAN through
creation of a cloned interface, especially if the bridge is off the
parent interface, not off a VLAN interface.
How do people manage this in practice when the jail has the risk of
compromise?
I prefer approaches where the jail's notion of it's own IP address
is the same as that of other hosts connecting to it, at least within
my own little private-address-space world.
One thing that I've been considering is:
* Configure the jail's IP on the real interface (or appropriate VLAN
interface) as an alias
* Send packets through ng_ipfw to an ng_eiface that the jail gets,
using ipfw and a lookup table
* Tag the packets on return with ng_tag with a unique identifier for
that jail's interface so ipfw can tell the only acceptable source IP
* Deny any so-tagged packets that don't have the proper source address
(jail ID by itself is not enough for the outbound packets, as some
of the jails are dual homed.)
Has anyone tried this kind of method? Any other/better suggestions?
Would ng_ip_input be the appropriate way to "send" the packets
coming from the jail?
Thanks!
Jeff
