Hi,

With zones and IP instances support, can one Solaris system (including Solaris 
10) be configured with completely isolated IP stacks both in the kernel and 
user space?

Assuming each available NIC card is going to be used only by one IP 
instance/zone, complete isolation means it's possible to use the same VLAN IDs 
and IP addresses in several instances/zones. The assumption is that any L3/L2 
info/tables (routing daemons, routing table, ARP, MAC) are logically separated 
in user and kernel space. 

Can the above still be achieved when a NIC card is shared but with unique VLAN 
IDs by each IP instances and zone?  Does this require VNIC support?

In the above case, is there any limitation in using the pfhooks IP filtering 
mechanism in the kernel? (given it does support IP instances)

In all cases, the assumption is that each IP instance / zone is connected to a 
separate network than the others (hence any duplicate VLAN IDs or IP addresses 
are not intermixed together).

Thanks,
Al.
