I installed FreeNas yesterday and I think I've mostly got to grips with it at least for my basic setup. I've installed a few plugins and set them up, however I'd like to be able to access my plugin jails by their hostnames (e.g. sabnzbd:8080). The main reason for this is in case my DHCP lease expires or if I move my server to a new location - I'd like my plugins to be able to make API calls to other plugins without having to change the configuration if the IP changes for whatever reason (e.g. IP conflict on another network..).
For some reason I can't ping my jails by their hostnames from my laptop or from the freenas server, however I can ping them from the respective jail. (e.g. from my sabnzbd_3 jail, I can ping sabnzbd_3). I can ping the IP addresses of the jails just fine from anywhere on my network, I just can't ping them using their hostname. I've tried ping jailname, and ping jailname.servername, but no luck. Any ideas?
