What exactly are your inetrface configurations and netmasks
(ifconfig output might be useful)?

You say that both NICs are on teh same network.  Does that
mean they're connected to teh same switch?  That's generally
not a good idea.  It doesn't buy you anything (unless you
use VLAN technology or other additional measures).

Any network traffic originating from a jail is guaranteed
to use the jail's IP address.  The interface that will be
used is the one according to your routing table entry for
that IP address.  (Unless you use things like IPFW FWD
or similar to redirect the packets somewhere else.)

PS:  Be very careful when binding services to localhost
(127.0.0.1) within the jail.  They will listen on the jail's
official IP address instead!  For that reason I often
configure an addition address on lo0 (e.g. 127.0.0.2)
and use that one for internal-only traffic such as DNS
and mail between host and jails.

Yes, both NIC's are on the same network, connected to the same switch, I not just using the jail's as a sandbox for a couple of services, rather I am using a virtual servers, ideally I would like to have a separate NIC for eash jail, just like I would do if I were setting these up in vmware.

It is currently setup and running, at the moment, as near as I can tell I am not having any IP routing issues, all the appropriate configs are below. I don't believe (I could be wrong, definitely tell me if I am) I am going to have and IP issues (i.e. layer 3), what I am concerned about are the potential ethernet issues ARP/RARP (i.e. layer 2). I was getting the expected arp errors, but I did set the net.link.ether.inet.log_arp_wrong_iface to 0, so I am not logging the errors, of course that doesn't mean the errors went away, they just aren't clogging the log files now. What I want to know is, if there are any deleterious effects from having two ethernet interfaces on the same network segment/switch.

Frankly I would be very concerned if there wasn't a way to pull this off, while I realize jails were not originally intended to be used as a mechanism to provide virtual servers, it is such an obvious application of the jail functionality, and it is perfectly reasonable to want to have a dedicated NIC for each virtual server, with out having to place each one on a separate network segment.
