On one hand, I'm going to isolate users from outside world. On the other hand, I 
cannot afford right now to provide each ot these users by their own jail with. Hmm, 
maybe I could run lots of jails on the same filesystem, but this will create 
immeasurable lots of apaches mostly staying idle.

I'm running several scores of virtualhosts right now, ant number of the is going to 
increase. At least 5 apaches, one sshd... hmm, even if I'll make annother jail for 
sshd/cron, I'm going to have LOTS and LOTS of idle apaches.

Yes, I'm starting to look towards that direction. Most likely, I'll install/patch some 
https->http proxy on weekend.

But in this case, I need to pass https variables some more or less efficient and 
elegant way... Well, I'll do it ;-)
