Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
As we have a development workflow based on DNS, to achieve this we need the access to containers ips from the dev machies. It is quite straightforward on Linux, on OSX we just need to set a custom route 172.16.0.0/24 to the docker-machine.
How can we achieve this on WSL2 ? Is there something already supported ?
Thanks!
