I am not that of a typer. I can paste some scripts, and others have too. Daniel Hozac helped a lot by fixing some minor issues in util-vserver. The thing is that you need a tiny script to move your interface into the right network namespace. But what interface you move into the namespace is totally depending on you. I've got two setups: Per vlan a network namespace: - a vserver that's just there to hold the namespace, and get's the complete vlan device. The creation and moving of the vlan device is an extra tiny script. - standard vserver guests within that vservers network namespace. This is fully supported out of the box since SVN2912 or so.. This setup is useful for big irons (blades) that have multiple DMZ's with network secured vservers (network namespaces combined with network context's). Per software bridge a network namespace: - a single vserver that gets a veth device with a tiny script. That veth device is put into the software bridge and into the vserver. There is no real practical way to fix this from util-vserver, except for using the default start hooks. The veth device get's a mac-address based on the context id of the vserver and the vlan id the software bridge is connected to. This setup is good for tunnel servers that tunnels traffic but the server itself keeps completely out of band.
