I've asked this question on the Docker support forum (no email
available!) but have seen no answers. If there are other better places
to ask, please let me know.

I have a Fedora 23 host (to be upgraded to F25 or F26 in the near
future). It has two networks and I want to run a Docker container that
can participate in both of them. The host defines these two networks
(and a gateway on a third network),

$ route -n
Destination Gateway    Genmask        ...  Iface
default     w.x.y.254  0.0.0.0        ...  eth0
a.b.c.0     0.0.0.0    255.255.255.0  ...  eth2
e.f.g.0     0.0.0.0    255.255.255.0  ...  eth3

So far for Docker, I have,

(1) $ docker network create --subnet a.b.c.0/24 --gateway a.b.c.254 eth2
(2) $ docker network create --subnet e.f.g.0/24 --gateway e.f.g.254 eth3
(3) $ docker create --network=eth2 --ip=a.b.c.1 container program
(4) $ docker network connect --ip=e.f.g.1 eth3 container
(5) $ docker start container
    # (With a few more arguments in real life.)

This gets me most of what I want except the ability to actually
participate in the host's networks. Traffic doesn't leave the container.
I understand I must somehow map the container's networks to the host's
networks. But I'm having trouble learning how to do that.

I can map the first network, I think. Instead of line (3) above, I try,

(6) $ docker create --network=eth2 --ip=a.b.c.1 \
      -p a.b.c.d:1-65535:1-65535/tcp -p a.b.c.d:1-65535:1-65535/udp \
      container program

But I don't see how to map the second network since the -p option is not
available for "docker network connect" (or for "docker start"). Of
course, using -p might not be the proper solution, anyway. Is it
possible to do what I want?

I'm using docker-engine-1.12.6-1.fc23.x86_64 and associated packages
from Docker, not Fedora's own Docker packages, because the latest
available from Fedora for F23 is Docker 1.10.
