I strongly suggest you raise local DNS server. LXC already have a dependency on dnsmasq, you can easily configure it for fakeresolve in addition to LXC-specific setup. > My problem is I cannot use the hostnames defined on the host inside the > container (without actually copying the /etc/hosts file in).

My strong opinion is that /etc/hosts is a crutch from 1960's and should not be used, there's always a better option. -- With best regards, Andrey Repin Wednesday, May 31, 2017 23:20:01 Sorry for my terrible english... _______________________________________________ lxc-users mailing list lxc-users@lists.linuxcontainers.org http://lists.linuxcontainers.org/listinfo/lxc-users
