Still doesn't work for me, when the container is on a private bridge from the host and DNATed and SNATed to a second IP on the host's WAN-facing interface. Either it won't work in this particular configuration, or I have to add something more for it to. As for other connections initiated from the container, wget to outside sites works fine. On the other hand ftp makes the initial connection and sends the user name from the prompt, but fails to progress to the password prompt, instead failing the ftp connection with "authentication failed" despite no chance to enter the password. Trying "yum update" fails with a flurry of "Not found" messages for packages required by dependencies. But ping works to any and all addresses. And as I mentioned before SSH works into the guest, but SSH out from the guest consistently fails with a "Host key verification failed" message. This breakage may well follow from the way I copied in a full existing CentOS 6 filesystem and then modified it to create the guest. Wish I knew how to diagnose what's wrong. I'm sure packets captured in the NAT stages would show something, but what to expect as normal there is outside my range of knowledge. > But also, you can mount it on the host and propagate it (or any subtree, > e.g. for a concrete container) via an bind-mount to the container.

Now to understand the scheme. > A entry in an lxc fstab file (referred by lxc.mount=) like > > /mnt/ext_nfs/container_foo mnt/my_nfs_part none bind 0 0 Is there a way to do mounts by hand, or is does this only work if done in the container's fstab file?
