Re: network namespace and DNS lookups

I think I sent my earlier email a bit prematurely.  I do have
/etc/netns/<namespace-name>/resolv.conf

user space process
(say bind)  look at a namespace specific resolv.conf instead of
default one?  Have any of
these standard applications been modified to work with namespace
specific config files?

Wouldn't that be the glibc resolver's domain?  DNS lookups aren't done
by the kernel, but by glibc in userspace.  And glibc is also what reads
resolv.conf, so most things DNS-namespace related would need to happen
there.

thanks again

Has there been any work in any of the recent kernels to limit the DNS lookup
to a particular network namespace?  Do we have any facility to specify the
DNS resolvers on network namespace basis (such as /etc/ns/resolv.conf)?

thank you
