Why not just run a vserver per multicast address?

Your whatever-it-is application is probably running an instance
per multicast address anyway (perhaps as a thread).

If you "hashify" the on-disk files, you'll only have a single
copy of those files (on-disk and in-memory) -
So even running a few hundred context-per-address vservers would
probably not be all that resource intensive.
