As I wrote to you in another email, it's not a problem,
since applications itself do not own network namespace.

It is objects like sockets which are binded to net namespace and thus
you can have sockets from different namespaces in one application
regardless of mechanism of context handling we talk about.

Thanks,
Kirill
