		Hallo all 
I'm new to this forum, and I'm trying to set up openvz networking through venet0. I'm on Debian lenny/squeeze. 
 
I'm using ipmasq to setup the networking stuff, and it simply doesn't work 
 
after a bit of investigation it turns out that ipmasq is getting confused by the fact that the venet0 interface has no netmask and no ip (and no broadcast, but I haven't checked if this represents a problem yet), so it gets discarded from the list of the interfaces 
 
is this the normal behaviour or is it a bug? 
 
I could simply assign such stuff to the interface, but I don't know if this is the right way to go and if it could cause other problems 
 
any suggestions? 
 
 
these are the openvz related packages installed in my box 
 
$dpkg -l|grep vz
ii  linux-image-2.6.26-2-openvz-amd64    2.6.26-21lenny3
ii  vzctl                                3.0.22-14
ii  vzdump                               1.2.4-2
ii  vzquota                              3.0.11-1  
 
thank you 
 
Davide
