Running BIRD on different namespaces

[Vishakha Hegde]

Hi all,

I'm looking for some guidance on running two separate instances of BIRD in
two different network namespaces. Do you think it's better to specify two
different config files for each namespace, or can I manage both instances
using a single config file?

I've tried using the following commands to run different config files:
sudo ip netns exec netns1 bird -c /etc/bird/bird1.conf
sudo ip netns exec netns2 bird -c /etc/bird/bird2.conf
But it gives the error: I found another BIRD running, so it looks like BIRD
can have only a single process running at once.
Any insights on how to resolve this?

Thanks!
