Hi, Sorry - I tried to setup some tests myself, but got distracted with "real" work in the past week or so... > If you can describe with some details what you want with tun/tap, that > would be great.

I currently host (amongst many) a server which is a VPN endpoint for a project I'm working on - we're using OpenVPN and vTUN - both which use the tun/tap interfaces. As part of my overall managent strategy for all my hosted servers, I'm moving as many of them them as possible to containers - so was thinking of "containerising" this particular server inside a newer host server. (The move isn't so much to optimise server resources but for management and I'm finding containers to be excellent for this as I can move a whole "server" from one hardware platform to another with relative ease!) What I'll probably do is move the VPN endpoints to the hosting server and run the rest of the applications inside a container on the same physical host.
