No NAT needed since they share the network stack under Jails v1 they share the routing tables. It works. Try it.

You're clearly exploiting a bug in FreeBSD 6's jails. It must get confused and send your public IP on those packets. I have no idea how it processes the return traffic successfully, but "that's a neat trick!". There is no possible way for this to work without NAT or whatever bug this is. If a Jail has a 192.168 IP all packets would leave with a source of 192.168. When Google or whoever on the internet gets your packets it would see 192.168 and probably drop it because that's not a publicly routable network.

Without NAT it's impossible for any device anywhere on the planet to access the internet with an RFC 1918 IP address.

I urge you to share your experience on the freebsd-jail@ mailing list. Those guys might be able to lend some further insight. I bet the change came with the update to jails that allows multiple IPs.
