You may be able to achieve what you want using proxy ARP.

I believe OpenVZ uses proxy ARP anyway in order to publicise the containers on the network.

Have you tried adding an external IP to the container and an internal IP to the host node?

You may have trouble with routing, as the host node is responsible for routing packets from the container. You may have to use device routes if the host cannot access the external gateway.

Thanks
Tom
