I moved my freenas plex server into a dmz and I thought I was struggling with firewall rules when it turns out my plex install is having some issues. I went to bed last night and everything was working - except I can't get the library to update - I looked at logs a bit last night but it was late and I wanted to get some sleep. I woke up this morning and I went to the plex web interface and made a couple minor changes - I'm pretty certain those won't be the issue - I noticed it seemed slow to respond so I went to the server settings and it just spun. I then started looking at the firewall thinking that was the issue, but through the logs I could see it was passing traffic. I then ssh'd out to my friends server to use telnet to connect into the PMS port, where it connected fine. I could telnet from my LAN to port 80 but to 32400 it was getting refused. Digging around further, I could see my NFS mounted media from the LAN to the DMZ was fine, so I thought I'd restart the service via inside the jail. Then I started getting an error that I'd seen a few times before in the last couple days that I thought was related to the firewall rules again, I'm not sure if it's an issue with the network stack or something else. Here's what I see:
root@plexmediaserver_1:/ # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/plexmediaserver stop
ps: /boot/kernel/kernel: No such file or directory
plexmediaserver not running? (check /var/run/plex/plex.pid).
root@plexmediaserver_1:/ # ping google.com
ping: cannot resolve google.com: Host name lookup failure
I can ping localhost, but nothing on the network, I get a network is unreachable error. Sorry I probably spent too much time explaining how I got there, when I want to find out why the jail is in the state it is. I've tried to stop and start the jail but it errors.

Yet the jail is still up.
The umounts above are NFS mounts from the lan to the dmz, which is mounted read-only to the freenas host via a init script, then mounted using the Jails -> storage
The system is a few months old HPE Proliant gen9, it's only got 4gb of RAM for now, I will pick up either 8 or 16 more, it's just pricey here in Canada, running FreeNAS-11.1-U4. I have FreeNAS running on the LAN where I have sonarr and all the other tools for media acquiring, hence the not so worried right now about the 4gb of RAM
Currently networking system is dead though when I first got up hours ago (PST) it was pingable, and ports were forwarding from the wan - I can't recall now for sure if they were from the lan -
I've since restarted, everything has come ok - if this happens again what further info can I get to you here?
