Sorry if this is a dumb question, but what is the model you intend for SNMP? Do you want each namespace to be its own virtual machine with its own, separate MIB?
Ifindex's have to uniquely identify the interface (virtual or otherwise) to remote queriers (not just local applications), so unless you pay the price of separating all the SNMP MIBs per namespace too, it seems you'll need some way to remap these for SNMP queries, right? +-DLS - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
