The current implementation of 'installadm list' uses dns-sd to prove life.

Its a bug in the AI install service. See bug 8695. Currently, the dns-sd process is kicked off by AI using a separate contract ala the fix to 8399. It was fixed that way to address immediate, higher impact issues due to how AI sequences events during starts/stops of install services; and 8695 was filed to address it properly in the long run. As a short-term consequence for the fix for 8399 though, dns-sd isn't related the install/server smf service, and hence you're seeing what you see. thanks, -ethan
