Maybe a bit off-topic.

I haven't found a satisfactory solution to having communicating containers across multiple hosts. There seems to be quite a few solutions in the making (libswarm, geard, etc). How are other people solving this (in production, beyond two or three hosts)?

Interesting, thanks! FWIW, ambassadord has consul integration and that's something I've wanted.

I simply expose ports (or do --net=host) and communicate between hosts in the normal fashion. Unless you don't trust your host I don't see the problem with that.

CoreOS seems to do what you are asking.
