When you create new wireless network on ubuntu host (e.g. for sharing
the wired connection), network-manager would setup a nat like this:
Sep 2 17:37:18 DELL NetworkManager[2118]: <info> Executing:
/sbin/iptables --table nat --insert POSTROUTING --source
10.42.0.0/255.255.255.0 ! --destination 10.42.0.0/255.255.255.0 --jump
MASQUERADE
IMHO it should also be applicable for lxc: only setup MASQ nat if the
packet is going to external network. Following the same principal. the
rule on lxc-net.conf should probably be something like
iptables -A POSTROUTING -s ${LXC_NETWORK} ! -d ${LXC_NETWORK} -t nat
-j MASQUERADE
