I have a couple of servers running PVE 5.0-34 and kernel 4.10.17-4.

I rebooted the first host, which has one LXC container and everything came back up OK. I then rebooted the second host which has 4 containers, but the containers restarted without networking in or out (the interfaces existed, so I suspected more of an issue with firewalling).

My quick solution was to stop/start each container individually, which fixed it. (it's a shame pct doesn't have a 'restart' option).

Is there anything to diagnose why the networking didn't come back up? All of these containers have some default firewall rules to allow http/https and ssh access, but other than that they are just standard LXC containers.
