ssh into host machine through jail.

Hi:

I was wondering if this is possible.

Suppose I have a machine with 2 ethernets both with a world accessible IP address. However, I also have 2 jails running, each with an ethernet in the jail.

For instance:
jail 1, eth0 has ip of 100.0.0.1
jail 2, eth0 has ip of 100.0.0.2

I can ssh into each of the jails from anywhere in the world without any problem.

But is it possible to ssh into my host machine through the jail's IPs?

Thanks!

Yes, think of the jails as separate machines. Can you SSH from one machine to another?

Much thanks, I figured a way to ssh to the jail then in the jail ssh to the host. Now I just have to tweak so that when i ssh with the jail's ip it will be forwarded to the host machine :)
