Added a note about a networking work around.

**The -lxc-conf flag below is required** when running docker images in zones: us-central1-a, europe-west1-1, and europe-west1-b. Without the MTU flag, you may experience intermittent network pauses.
`See this issue <https://code.google.com/p/google-compute-engine/issues/detail?id=57>`_ for more details.
