title: Docker container outbound IP mapping
body: <p>I have installed docker on a private cloud VM (RHEL 7.2) with a floating IP say 10.135.118.6 <br/>
  I also have a Java Play Application which talks to third party database servers. The database have white-listed the floating IP 10.135.118.6 so that my Java Play App can make a connection to it. <br/><br/>
  Now I wish to dockerize this Java Play App, but while doing so, the IP addresses which get assigned to the docker containers are mapped using a default docker bridge whose IPs eventually turn out to be of the range 172.17.0.2 (Dynamic IP)
  <br/>
  <br/>
  This is creating a problem for me as my new IP is not white-listed on my Database server which eventually stops the container.
  <br/>
  <br/></p>
  
  <p>Is there any way I can assign the VM floating IP to my docker
  container instead of the docker bridge network IP?</p>
