Hi,

I’m using the default network configuration from LXD with lxcbr0 and 10.0.3.* 
IP range.

If I create multiple containers (ubuntu:14.04) then I am able to contact these 
containers from within each other by hostname.

e.g.
container1
container2
container3

Within container2 I can simply run ‘ping container1’ and it manages to resolve 
the IP without any further configuration.

However, if I then delete container1 and re-create it, the IP address of 
container1 may change (via DHCP) and when I try to ping container1 from 
container2 I simply receive “ping: unknown host container1”.

I’m not sure what the intended behaviour is here, I was really happy when I 
realised I could simple communicate between containers by container name (host 
name), but now I’m not so sure it is a reliable method.

Could someone outline the intended behaviour here, and perhaps recommend a more 
reliable way of container to container communication without relying on knowing 
the IP addresses?

Thanks,

Jamie
