Within a vserver you have no possibility to access the iptables (for security reasons) becuase the iptables is not virtualized. This is as far as I have understood it, intentional. > For example if I add a vserver with the IP 192.168.0.5, the interface > will disappear from ifconfig -a and I can't log / set rules e.g. for it > on the hostsystem anymore. Use the ip command instead and you can control it. You have full control from the host system. > The interface shouldn't disappear, so that the server administrator can > administrate it. There are more ways than ifconfig. You can actually configure in such a way that the ip-address is added to a new interface. If you want virtualized interfaces I suggest you take a look at openvz (package vzctl) instead.
