Really what this is trying to make up for is the inability to

or not this functionality belongs in ifconfig or not, I'm not
100% sure of.

I have run into the same problem in a couple of environments:

1) Servers with 10+ zones.  In this case, I may want to take a look at
the interfaces for a particular zone but have a very hard time finding
them without piping through less then searching.

So what you want is something to the effect of:

ifconfig -a zone X

to just output interfaces that match "zone X" ?

Is this functionality something you need in ifconfig or
could it be just as useful in another command?

e.g.
ifconfig -a | ifgrep zone X

2) Servers with an IPMP group serving the routable network and 6+
networks serving as cluster interconnects.

Sounds like you've got your hands full there :)
