Oleg in this case we have two different problems.

1. The option to create a FIP namespace when portbinding occurs will solve one of the problem if the private port is intended for the VMs.
2. The other issue that we have is if the ports are not going to be bound for thier life time. ( Handling this case may be complex). This is the one where you create a port and assign a floatingIP and use that port for the "allow-address-pair" for the purpose of running VRRP on that port.

I was working on that fix to associate the FIP namespace to the "dvr_snat" node by default if the port binding is empty. But still it causes issues when I try to disassociate a FIP.
So I need to manually bind this port to the "dvr_snat" host and then configure the FIP namespace, that would be the right way to do.
But I am still looking into the options of "how" to forcefully bind the host.
