Comment:

 At the moment, every jail has two IP addresses assigned (internal and
 external).

 We should consider whether that's necessary.  Many jails will only make
 outgoing connections, and could just as well be NATted or only have an
 internal address.  Such jails would include buildslaves for the
 metabuildbot and the jail to run maintenance crontasks like the weekly-
 update script.

 We might also consider using name-based virtual hosting on some of our web
 properties, with the service host acting as a frontend and proxying to the
 appropriate jail via localhost.  That would save us from wasting an IP
 address on every domain name we set up.
