I, too, had the idea of utilizing Docker in the IoT - in fact, I chose that as the focus of my MSc dissertation (though my primary goal was to implement automated docker/LXC container provisioning for resources on a server to be utilized by a sensor device). I created a little open-source tool called Orchestrator (https://github.com/cvlc/orchestrator https://github.com/cvlc/orchestrator) to automatically provision docker instances on a remote server in response to DHCPv6 requests. Unfortunately, I've been side-tracked on other projects for a while and haven't really got the ball rolling yet - I'll be looking to update it fairly soon, though! Jérôme Petazzoni (employee of Docker, formerly dotcloud) has created an excellent (I'd say essential) tool for dealing with networks under Docker called Pipework (https://github.com/jpetazzo/pipework https://github.com/jpetazzo/pipework) which is definitely worth a look if you're looking to network containers together.
