Installation in FreeBSD jails, not supported?

[jm234]

I'm fairly new to FreeBSD and just stumbled upon pfSense, an awesome project.
What puzzles me a little bit is, AFAIK, that no installation script exists to deploy pfSense inside a jail on a FreeBSD host.

I mean, I've done some googlin' and searched these forums. In some posts it was even suggested to install virtualbox-headless and then install pfSense as a VM but, wouldn't it be easier and lighter to do it in a jail?

Am I missing something obvious here?  ???

I'm not sure but I think jails does not have full networking support that pfsense need's to run properly.

We're big fans of jails, this server and all our others run in jails. Can't do the things a firewall needs to do when running within a jail though. They're great for server type uses, not possible for something like a firewall though.
