How does any system to know if you're talking to the host localhost, or the
jail's localhost? I see a logical flaw that would make that somewhat
difficult. Since the point of IP addresses are supposed to be unique (let's
not get into rfc1918 addresses, or my localhost has your localhost IP), how
can that be safely determined?
Now, if it was 127.0.0.10 on the host, and 127.0.0.1 on the jail, and
127.0.0.2 on a 2nd jail, etc -- that could work.
can you trick cPanel by using /etc/hosts to say localhost (name of a
machine) maps to your jail's IP? Can you provide any other workaround that
will allow such scripts to dynamically and correctly find the information
they're looking for?
Couple ideas, HTH
