Dear Marek and Bob:

That now sounds as if it goes to the right direction.

Before anything -- such setup, Cobbler on a VPS, does work ... I know 
because I had it working before on the old Virtuozzo server this way, 
but only with the help of someone else on this list (who also posted 
today :)

Anyway, in my notes I found the following HOW-TO for setting up a bridge:

"112" is here the container number.

Create "veth" network on VPS:
    vzctl set 112 --netif_add eth1 --save
    vzctl set 112 --ifname eth1 --nameserver 212.48.124.144 --save
x   vzctl set 112 --ifname eth1 --gateway 212.72.124.65 --save
    vzctl set 112 --ifname eth1 --ipadd 212.72.124.87 --save
x   vznetcfg br new vzbridge1 vznet1
x   vzctl set 112 --ifname eth1 --network vznet1 --save
x   vznetcfg br attach vzbridge1 eth0

The lines above marced with an x get me errors:
    ERROR: vzctl: unrecognized option `--gateway'
and
    ERROR: invalid action
and
    ERROR: vzctl: unrecognized option `--network'


I will try to follow the forum posting (THANKS) you just posted -- 
and will update you later:
