I don't expect moby/moby#24170 to be solved by Docker team on near future so this gist is about looking for least ugly workarounds which are available today and on near future.
It is possible to create overlay network with use user specified subnet. On this example I create network which is size is two C -class networks ( IP range 10.0.0.0 - 10.0.1.255 ) and force Docker to use IPs from second part of it ( 10.0.1.0 - 10.0.1.255 ).
That way I can make sure that IPs 10.0.0.2 - 10.0.0.254 can be specified to containers and they do not collide with IPs which Docker engine assign for service(s)/container(s).
