Hi,

after some experimenting with VXLAN, I've summed up a working "LAN for 
multiple LXC servers" here:

https://lxadm.com/Unicast_VXLAN:_overlay_network_for_multiple_servers_with_dozens_of_containers


It is using in kernel VXLAN, and thus performs very well (almost wire 
speed, and much much better than any userspace programs).

On the other hand, it provides no encryption between LXD servers (or, in 
fact, any other virtualization), so may depend on your exact 
requirements.
