I'm using Proxmox 1.9 distro for my needs. By default it's web interface doesn't allows to mix network types for one CT. But I wanted to setup a mixed network within one CT.
My HN has 2 physical interfaces. So I've created a CT with veth interface bridged with eth0 via vmbr0 bridge. Then I've edited /etc/vz/conf/101.conf so it looks like:

IP_ADDRESS="192.168.A.B"
NETIF="ifname=eth0,bridge=vmbr0,mac=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX,host_ifname=veth101.0,host_mac=YY:YY:YY:YY:YY:YY"

That way I have both venet and eth0 (veth device) inside CT. It seems to be working as intended. But because I didn't found any info on a setups like this I want to ask if there is any drawbacks or possible problems with such setup.
