The host is on aa.bb.cc.103 (a public net address)
and the container is on aa.bb.cc.87.

I can get from 87 to 103, but I can't ping the gateway from the
container.

I'm trying to do everything over br0 with fixed ip addresses, like

I'll give those a go if the br0/eth0 arrangement I'm trying doesn't
work. I'm not keen to forward ports from the host, if I can avoid it.
