Our container names are fixed length of the form vm-NN, so I don't think 
we'd run into a length issue. In fact, what I'd like to use would be 
shorter than what is generated by lxc. I cleared out a setting in 
default.conf and then my custom setting for veth.pair worked as I 
wanted. I decided to go with vm-NN to match the container name.
