(uugh.  Sorry again, Daniel, for the dupe.  Some stupid user behavior as 
last time, too, on my part.)

I will also try to get a series of useful packet captures; my laptop 
took a lot longer than expected to be fully functional again, so I 
wasn't able to do it today.  I would hope that it would yield some 
useful information.

I think I mentioned this earlier in the thread, but a Windows host seems 
to never start actually pinging the correct address.  I haven't figured 
out how to get a Windows (XP) host with a 172.16.0.0/24 address to even 
be able to talk to the containers with 173.15.213.184/29 addresses.  I 
have Windows 7 available on another machine, which I will try tomorrow.
