VLANs for jail

Hello,

I now gave up trying to use VIMAGE for jail use. Fortunately there are other options to go :)

I created two VLAN interfaces:
Code:
# ifconfig vlan0 create vlan 1 vlandev em0
# ifconfig vlan0 inet 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0
# ifconfig vlan1 create vlan 2 vlandev em0
# ifconfig vlan1 inet 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0

Then I created some jails using them:
Code:
# ezjail-admin create -c zfs build 10.0.0.0
# ezjail-admin create -c zfs www 10.0.0.1
# mkdir /usr/jails/build/var/ports
# echo '/usr/jails/basejail/usr/ports /usr/jails/build/var/ports nullfs rw 0 0' >> /etc/fstab.build
# ezjail-admin start build
# jexec 2 sh
# cd /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portmaster && make install clean
===>  License check disabled, port has not defined LICENSE
===>  Found saved configuration for portmaster-3.11

*** Error code 1

*** Error code 1

How do I solve this? What have I forgotten?
 
Fix DNS. It's failing to resolve anything. Did you set up /etc/resolv.conf correctly in the jail?
 
Code:
# cat /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 192.168.178.1

This is the IP of the router. Which IP should I define for the nameserver (the local of em0)?
 
Your VLAN interface is in 10.0.0.0/24. Is there a route to 192.168.178.0/24 on the host?
 
I don't think so:
Code:
# ifconfig
em0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
	options=219b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4,WOL_MAGIC>

	inet6 fe80::21b:21ff:fec5:faf4%em0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 
	nd6 options=29<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>

I thought that the VLAN IP isn't important because it's internal?

I think you're confused with lo0. Some people like to clone it and bind their jails to that. That will be local only, if you need access outside of the host you would need to use NAT.

VLANs are mainly used to compartmentalize traffic to improve performance.

Ok, this makes sense.

I thought all the time that it's just an easy way of creating an internal network.

Then I would say back trying to fix the vimage thing :(
