I'm checking LXC right now, so far big chunk of functionality is missing for me.
I can't find a way to share IP address with the host system.
Here is my use cases:
1) I have bgpd running on a host server which advertises 10.7.7.5/32 10.6.6.5/32
Then I tell linux-vserver to have these IPs on eth0, eth1 whatever, and I don't need to create routes, nat, etc - packets reach the instance.
2) I have 192.168.1.2/28 and 3ffe::2/120 on the eth0 from a hoster, from there I create containers with 192.168.1.3/32 and 3ffe::3/128 which are attached to eth0 - packets reach the instance.
Unfortunately I can't have such setup with LXC. If one is aware what to do, please tell me.
Another question, is there a 'unofficial' linux-vserver debian repo for wheezy?
If not, how it hard to have personal automated kernel build farm? Any ready to use solutions?
