Hi Mikko,

1) You need to enable conntrack support for container, it is disabled by default.
IIRC following command should be enough to enable conntrack support for specified container only:
# vzctl set <CTID> --iptables iptable_filter --iptables ip_conntrack --save

2) Also you need to load all modules on the host before loading of rules inside container. Container cannot load modules, even indirectly. that's why loading of iptables rules failed inside container.
we recommend to add all required modules into iptables service configuration on the host.
on CentOS6 nodes you need to add all used modules into IPTABLES_MODULES variable in /etc/sysconfig/iptables-config file.

thank you,
Vasily Averin
