The other concept that might be of benefit is a "dead" jail vs. a "live" jail -- with TCP connections taking a while to run down, there can often be dangling jail references that don't garbage collect for a few minutes. Perhaps, where there is ambiguity, live jails (ones with referencing processes) should be preferred to dead ones.

Thats something that the admin should take care for.

How might they do that? Remember that any command that works only when the jail IP is "unambiguous" will become effectively non-deterministic as a result of un-garbage collected jails. So

Is it feasible to change the hostname of a dying jail? We could prefix it with some string at some point of the shutdown...
