I have had the same problem with lxc on ESX last week. I also thought
using separate vnics for each container would be a solution, but lxc has
a bug not giving back the interface original name to the host: eg, eth1
becomes dev3 and you cannot rename it back.

The result of this bug is: you can start a container only once, then you
have to reboot the host. This is a complete show stopper.
