Sometimes network providers do not allow multicast communication. In this instance, vxlans need to be configured using multiple unicast endpoints. This is done by appending additional zero MAC entries to the fdb.

Please add support for configuring these in netdev.

[VXLAN]
Id=42
Endpoint=10.0.0.1
Endpoint=10.1.0.1
Endpoint=10.2.0.1
