Thanks, Luis, at least I know I don't need to waste more time on this
yak-shaving adventure.

Yea, i tried promiscuous mode but that still didn't help the lxc guest
make outbound connections.

My understanding is that vbox can only have *one* MAC address per
virtual network device.  Someone please correct me if I have this
wrong.

The only thing I can think of at this point is creating a NAT network
on the LXC host, and using iptables to forward traffic back and forth
between the LXC host and its guests.  It's unfortunate that we don't
have a native "lightweight" virtualization solution on OSX.  Maybe
I'll look into booting Linux off a USB drive and running LXC natively
on the Macbook via a CentOS or Ubuntu.

thanks

Sean
