you can delegate one of your NICs (network adapter) for exclusive VPS usage. In this case, broadcasts will work fine.
To do so, use `vzctl set --netdev_add` command.

Also you can remove broadcasts drop in venet.c and investigate how to force kernel to route/forward broadcasts, but this requires some technical skills.

1. you can dig internet about samba broadcasts forwarding. Somehow people do connect samba segments, do they? So there should be ways of doing this.

2. starting point is venet_xmit() functions, where a packet is redirected to appropriate VPS.
