One of the key questions for me is whether the two approaches can live

I have scripts semi-hacked together to run Quagga daemons in different
VRFs^Wnamespaces - I use a number as the namespace name, so it's like
a VRF id. The script configures namespaces and launches daemons with a
ZServ path-name with the VRF ID in the path. You can then 'telnet
$DAEMON $(($DAEMON_BASE+$VRF*10))' or somesuch to access the ui. I
havn't gotten setting of inter-networking between the VRFs nicely
scripted yet.
Assuming that you are running VRF aware single-daemons what would
prevent you from doing the exact same thing above?
Just run the daemons in different VRFs, correct?
I can see some confusion in this approach if you start multiplexing
daemons/VRFs. For example:
daemon 1 runs in VRFs 1&2,
daemon 2 runs in VRFs 3&4,
daemon 3 runs in VRFs 5&6,
but what about one daemon is allowed to have multiple VRFs and the other
daemons run one daemon per VRF such that
daemon 1 runs in VRFs 1&2&3&4,
daemon 2 runs in VRF 5,
daemon 3 runs in VRF 6,
I'm not saying it should be done this way, but I'm trying to see if you
can still do your "semi-hacked" approach if we have VRF-aware daemons,
while still being able to run several VRFs in one of the daemons.
