[lxc-users] Internal networking of containers

Hello I have multiple external IP addresses and set up iptables so that
each container is assigned one external IP on the lxcbr0 NATed bridge in a
1 to 1 fashion similar to this example:

root at SERVER:/var/log# iptables -t nat -L
Chain PREROUTING (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination
DNAT       all  --  anywhere             188.227.224.138     to:10.0.3.2
DNAT       all  --  anywhere             188.227.224.139     to:10.0.3.3


Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

Chain POSTROUTING (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination
SNAT       all  --  10.0.3.2            !10.0.3.0/24          to:
188.227.224.138
SNAT       all  --  10.0.3.3            !10.0.3.0/24          to:
188.227.224.139


Now when I try to access a container from another container, I am just
hitting the host, so for ssh for example, even if I try the IPs
188.227.224.139 or 10.0.3.3 from the 10.0.3.2 container I will actually
connect to the physical hosts SSH daemon. Everything works fine from one
connecting from/to external machines.

What am I doing wrong.
