WARNING: for distro "saucy" as your container/host system, dnsmasq is broken, vms can not get DHCP IP address from dnsmasq. To attempt to fix, try:

1. sudo iptables -t mangle -A POSTROUTING -o lxcbr0 -p udp --dport bootpc -j CHECKSUM --checksum-fill
2. refresh vm IP
1. stop and start vm, 
2. or kill existing dhclient process on vm, and run dhclient by hand
1. pkill dhclient
2. dhclient -v eth0
3. If that doesn't help your vm to get an IP address from dnsmasq
1. delete the iptables rule you just created
1. iptables -L -t mangle -n --line-numbers
1. show existing rule numbers in left column
2. iptables -t mangle -D POSTROUTING <rule #>
1. for example, iptables -t mangle -D POSTROUTING 1
