dhcpcd -n will normally send SIGHUP to the process specified in /var/run/dhcpcd/pid

Just to be clear, SIGHUP does not mean restart, it means reload config and 
rebind - so any current DHCP/RA/DHCPv6 is kept, it's just refreshed outside the 
normal timers.

If I understand jails correctly, each jailed instance has it's own /var/run?
If so, I don't understand what issue you're seeing unless the jailed interface 
also exists in the host? If so, what's the output of ifconfig so we can try to 
exclude them?
