Hi all, with the new vzctl bridge patch sent yesterday it is easy to build up hosts with complex 'virtual' networks. In Proxmox VE we have 9 bridges - each CT can connect to one or more bridges. I guess in theory it is possible to run a fully functional firewall inside a CT. Does somebody has

Do I understand correctly that you actually experience the following problem: 1. veth MAC address is lower then your ethX MAC. 2. so brX is assigned min(vethX-MAC, ethX-MAC) which is vethX-MAC. 3. and what is the your problem with that? that host system MAC changes dynamically and

If I got your problem right then I can advise you a possible solution - in RHEL5 kernel we have a functionality called via_phys_dev (triggered by BRCTL_SET_VIA_ORIG_DEV ioctl). This forces kernel to work with original interface ethX (first added to bridge) and pass the traffic to it.
