Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/1880

I have two scripts running in parallel which invoke firejail. Both of them specify --ip=10.0.3.3 as an option.
Since they run in parallel without synchronization firejail reports that one of the scripts reports that the IP address is already in use.
I don't see an option to wait until the IP is released.
Is it possible to add one?

I discovered that if I disable running those scripts in parallel the IP is not released for a few moments which is also a problem.

Is this feature easy or hard to implement? Can I help?

The code is kind of convoluted in that area, I'll have to do some cleanup first.
