I've submitted an MP (https://code.launchpad.net/~benji/ubuntu/precise/lxc/bug-949956/+merge/96601) to fix this.
The hostname and /etc/hosts munging is already done in lxc-start- ephemeral (and arguably in a superior way), so I left that part alone. ** Branch linked: lp:~benji/ubuntu/precise/lxc/bug-949956 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to lxc in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/949956 Title: lxc-start-ephemeral keeps same MAC address, and so same IP address, as base instance To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxc/+bug/949956/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
