(I think locally is better on for the public facing so you do not collide with other mac addresses). When generating MAC addresses for macvlan, this bit should be set to '1', indicating it is Locally administered. As such translated to a mac address any of these numbers are locally managed and you will not need to worry about colliding with the larger Internet,

I believe you must have 1 macvlan mapped to 1 container interface and they all must have different static IP addresses. Need to test. I tried replicating my steps in a new container and though it got the IP address, I could not connect.
