Hence "a daemon hangs around ... to refresh the NFS mount" by which I
meant to imply the possibility of creating new mounts as well.

That may be unnecessary.  It might be safe to allow processes to move
between the network namespace.  We still don't have a clear statement of
the threat model and the degree of isolation that is required, so it is
hard to create concrete recommendations.
