David,

it would help a lot if you could draw a network configuration you want to get
with interfaces, it's names, hosts, etc.
right now, I'm bit confused about which interfaces you have.
one, according to you, is ADSL which is visible as eth0.
But router usually should have some other interfaces where to route to :)
So a good description would immideately helped.

venet/veth is 2 types of networking available to VE in OpenVZ.
venet is a secure IP-level networking, while veth is ethernet-like
device working with broadcasts etc. (additional to IP).

Thanks,
Kirill
