But now I'm curious -- why didn't it work?

Fair enough. It does, invalidate the example given by
Rob in his article though:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Another program, ns, does this; it reads the /proc/n/ns file, decodes  
the information,
and interprets it, translating the network addresses and quoting the  
names when required:
...
mount -a ’#s/dns’ /net
...
mount -c il!135.104.3.100!12884 /mnt/term
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks,
