ifupdown-netns

Some simple scripts to simplify configuring network namespaces on Debian-like systems. Copy them into the corresponding directories under /etc/network.

To configure an interface in a namespace:

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet manual
  netns myns

On invocation of ifup:

if the namespace doesn't exist it will be created
if the folders if-down.d, if-post-down.d, if-pre-up.d and if-up.d under /etc/netns/<namespace>/network don't exist, they will be created
if the /etc/netns/<namespace>/network/interfaces file doesn't exist a blank one will be created
if it does and the interface is configured the the script will invoke ifup for this interface inside the namespace.
