See http://lists.openvz.org/pipermail/devel/2008-October/015055.html

I'm not sure what the current status of the patch is ( perhaps someone on
this list can comment? I thought this had been merged into kernel.git
at some point, but evidently not so?)  but after
http://lwn.net/Articles/407495/, a single
process should be able to open sockes in different namespaces.
