[f-nsp] Virtual/Logical router

[David Ball]

  It kinda depends on what you're looking to achieve.  VRFs and
virtual routers are similar, but with slightly different setup
requirements.  For Juniper's version of logical-router though, there's
a separate routing daemon started for each logical router (so if one
crashes, the others aren't affected).  Again, depends on what you're
looking to to.
