Description Gijs Peskens 2021-05-04 15:39:01 UTC 
ifconfig and route could be given a -j flag to specify a JID/name, and do a jail_attach syscall to that jail before doing any work. 

This would allow administrators to administrate IP addresses & routing for vnet jails that might not have these binaries available (i.e.: Linux jails)
