    # Allow overlapping IP subnets across multiple tenants.
    # This creates route domains on big-ip in order to

    #
    # When use_namespaces is True there is normally only one route table
    # allocated per tenant. However, this limit can be increased by
    # changing the max_namespaces_per_tenant variable. This allows one
    # tenant to have overlapping IP subnets.

    # or less they can't communicate.
