To get DNS to work without NWAM, populate your /etc/resolv.conf with
appropriate values, then modify /etc/nsswitch.conf to have the following
for the "hosts" and "ipnodes" lines:

hosts:      files dns
ipnodes:    files dns

Yes, NWAM (at least as it stands in the current release) doesn't work
with link aggregations, VLANs, VNICs, or anything that isn't a physical
Ethernet interface.  The solution is to switch back to
network/physical:default and manually configure the services that you
need.

We can also help you over at [email protected] if you
need additional networking configuration help.

Note that NWAM is an ongoing OpenSolaris project
(http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/nwam/), and you can contact the
project team and other users who are following the project at
[email protected].
