If you create a bridge, attach the physical interface to it, give the 
bridge the ip address you usually give to eth0, (make sure ifconfig eth0 
0.0.0.0) and then give an IP address to the container on the same 
network than eth0, that will allow to have your container to communicate 
on the network and the host without passing through a gateway.

Is it what you want to achieve ?
