 I can't put eth0 in a bridge, because it's the port for the NFS root.
 But when I want traffic to go from the container's port to (the host's)
 eth0, I don't see how to direct that--I don't think that's even
 possible.  It instead goes out eth1 to the next hop, where the eth0
 address isn't even routeable.

 So it seems that a router configuration for LXC is what I want.  I've
 done this in Xen, using their vif-route script.  How would that work
 with LXC?

No, it looked bleeding edge, and it didn't occur to me how I could use 
it.  How would one?  What is it?

Put brctl in the initrd; set up bridge BEFORE mounting NFS?
