You go to the trouble of setting up multiple transports for rpcbind upcalls.  This suggests you plan to have an rpcbind in each net namespace.

On behalf of NFS, the kernel also performs idmapd, gssd, and statd (NSM) upcalls.  Do you intend to have separate instances of these daemons for each net namespace?
