Well the idea is set up multiple servers on my laptop communicate
with each other so I can simulate a network of servers. This calls
for multiple custom apache installs (virtual hosts wont do the
trick), haproxy, varnish, lighttpd, and some other software packages
with different internal IP's.
With Jails resources can be assigned IP's, CPU's etc... I'm not
certain chroot can handle this.
I'm think I'm going to have to be forced do this with FreeBSD on
another box as I don't have the luxury
of Jails on Mac OS X. That or OpenSolaris.
Hopefully Jails will be built into OS X natively to handle these
situations
It is supposed to be the "most advanced operating system" right?
Seems lacking in important areas.

Juan,
Pretty much everybody thinks (for their own X) "well, if the OS
doesn't have support for X, then it is lacking".
Different OS's are targeted at different markets.
The idea that Mac OS X doesn't directly support the level of
virtualization you happen to desire, for how you have decided to
approach the task you are trying to accomplish, and therefore is
lacking in important areas, is (IMHO) naive.
Since this is a simulation, you could just use multiple virtual
network interfaces (which you can directly create in the Network
control panel), and you can install multiple copies of the software
packages you want in different directories and attach them to specific
IP addresses, and most support configuring how many processes and/or
threads they will use, so maybe if you more fully explain what you are
trying to simulate, people may be able to suggest how to do it on Mac
OS X.
