I would suggest adding a default ipv4 route from your ipv6 network
namespaces to your ipv4 network namespace, but that only works for
outbound traffic.  The inbound traffic problem is classically solved
via nat.

That you are not suggesting using nat has me thinking there is something
subtle in what you are trying to do that I am missing.

Perhaps your userspace can do:

	previous_netns = open("/proc/self/ns/net");
	setns(ipv4_netns);
	socket();
	setns(previous_netns);


As the network namespace is per thread this is atomic if you add
the logic to block signals around it.
