Setup IPv4 local on IPv6 VPS
I have a dedicated server running multiple IPv6 only OpenVZ containers. I want them to be able to communicate with the IPv4 internet, but I realized that isn't going to be possible with IPv6 only. So they need to have an IPv4 address as well, not sure if a local address will work for it, but pretty sure it should.
I added 169.254.1.100 in the container .conf file, but when I try to start it, I get this :
Adding IP address(es): (the IPv6 address) 169.254.1.100
arpsend: 169.254.1.100 is detected on another computer : 00:04:9b:f2:b0:00
vps-net_add WARNING: arpsend -c 1 -w 1 -D -e 169.254.1.100 eth0 FAILED
What should I do now?

169.254.x.x is not usable as an internal network. Try using 192.168.x.x
Obviously they won't be able to communicate with the IPv4 internet on these addresses.██ ViralVPS.com - Linux & Windows Xen VPS Servers

For them to be able to communicate with the outside internet, and not just each other, you need some external IPv4 addresses routed to your server. Has your provider given you IPv4 addresses?

I have 5 IPv4 addresses routed to my server, just not assigning IPv4 addresses to the openvz containers. I don't want to assign a complete address to any one container, just want them to be able to communicate with the IPv4 internet. I am assigning only IPv6 addresses to the containers.

You can't have them communicating with the external IPv4 internet unless they have IPv4 internet addresses.

Have you seen lowendspirit.com? They provide IPv6 only VPS with 10.10.10.xxx internal IPv4 addresses, and NATed IPv4, and their VPS's can communicate with the external IPv4 internet without any problems. How is that done then?

So essentially what you want is to configure NAT, right?

I think so. Will NAT allow them to communicate with the outside internet?
