Hi,

So  in the spirit of sharing.  I've resolved this now... but for
reference, the simple fix is below.

It is necessary to ensure that the subnet mask is set for lxc.network.ipv4:

# grep ipv4 /var/lib/lxc/example/config

lxc.network.ipv4 = 10.1.1.233/24 10.1.1.255

lxc.network.ipv4.gateway = 10.1.1.1

Hopefully this is useful to someone.
