[Lxc-users] container hostname not visible to host, ubuntu 12.04

Hello Zeyang

I suggest doing a reverse DNS lookup from the host to check that the DNS
name of the container is what you think it is

  dig +short -x 10.0.3.195

I have seen a situation (running LXC inside EC2 instances) where an
unexpected DNS name was being assigned to the guest by the wider system DNS.

I also see that you seem to be running the LXC network inside the guest as
well as on the host (it too has an lxcbr0 bridge network). Is this
intentional?
