I will definitely NOT use DHCP!
My servers have static addresses.

And how will DHCP help with my problem to know which host is on the LXC
host? This information is not in DHCP.

As I wrote in my first e-mail: I do not want to set my routes manually,
because LXC already knows which hosts are local containers. It should
manipluate the routing table automatically.

Ok, it seems, this feature is missing.
I will add it to my lxc script.
