I had a bit of a think about how to describe what I am trying to achieve. I am treating each jail likes its own little "virtual machine”. The jail provides certain services, using things like nginx or nodejs, php-fpm, mysql or postgresql. The jails can control connections to themselves by configuring the firewall ports that are opened on the IP their IP (10.0.0.0/16 or a public IP). I know the jails have no firewall of their own, the firewall is configured from the host.
I want each jail or “virtual machine” to be able to communicate with one another and the wider internet. When a jail does a DNS query for another App jail, it may get a public IP on its own Host (or it may get another host) and it has no issues being able to communicate with another jail on the same host. At the moment all of the above is working perfectly except for jail to jail communication on the same host (when the communication is not directly between 10.0.0.0/16 IP addresses).
