Hello: Thanks for the quick reply.
I generally use what you mention below to build the network at layer 2 then move all the interfaces into the various jails. Everything works fine with ng_hub or ng_bridge and ng_eiface but I decided to try a point-to-point connection which use to work in the vimage days (FreeBSD 4.11) and found that it doesn't work with vnet jails.
