Would using macvlan bridge mode the solution?
Didn't find a way to make it work...

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. -- Ullrich Horlacher Server- und Arbeitsplatzsysteme Rechenzentrum E-Mail: horlacher at rus.uni-stuttgart.de Universitaet Stuttgart Tel: ++49-711-685-65868 Allmandring 30 Fax: ++49-711-682357 70550 Stuttgart (Germany) WWW: http://www.rus.uni-stuttgart.de/_____________________________________________
