I was hoping that I could open a socket in one name-space and another in 
another name
space, and send traffic between them, within a single application.  This 
is basically what I can do now with my
send-to-self patch and (for more clever virtual-routing schemes + NAT, 
with a conn-track
patch that Patrick cooked up for me).  It seems these patches I use are 
not acceptable
for merge, so I was hoping name-spaces might work instead.

Thanks,
Ben
