You can copy over the entire contents over to your nfs server share and reuse it - just make sure that any temp files that get created between deployments in that secondary storage nfs directory are removed before you go ahead and create your zones. For example, vmware deployments store and retrieve the systemvm.iso file from the $secstorage/systemvm/ directory - so every time you recreate your zone, remove this file first, else you'd probably hit weird issues that nobody else is running into. You can also clear the files under snapshots/ and volumes/ if they don't get cleaned up after you nuke your setup and just retain the template directory chain.
