Hi Daniel,
" I'm also thinking about allowing external_{ip,netmask,gateway} (without a
number) to directly sit on the physical NIC."
Any idea or direction on how to do that or are you planing to execute a
script with SMF at startup ?
As for why not use a vnic, for me, it just does not feel right, the
hypervisor should have the real nics and the zones should use vnics. Only
when you need more than one IP on a given interface in the GZ, should you
need a vnic in the GZ.
Also somehow, the vnic does not seem to work, I cant ping outside from the
GZ and I cant ping the GZ from outside.. However, If i use my public nic as
the admin interface, it works.
