If you don't need broadcasts, then you can use venet and route traffic 
to the openvz server.  It means windows clients won't see the server by 
browsing the network (or using "net view"), but they can get access by 
typing "\\server" (assuming you have DNS set up to point "server" at the 
openvz server, and have all the routing and firewalling in place).
