Tune F8 Dom0 as suggested at link provided bellow,
to turn on "libvirtd" daemon bridging and NAT forwarding. Then
in "pygrub" installation profile spcecify:-
vif=[ 'bridge=virbr0' ]
brctl show will report virtual interface of SNV79 DomU attached to
virbr0 interface at F8 Dom0.
Since then your Solaris DomU's DHCP request during original
install and afterwards will be sent to "dnsmasq" service,running on F8 Dom0.
The address you are supposed to get for Solaris DomU should be from
subnet 192.168.122.0 (netmask 255.255.255.0).
You wouldn't need anymore any external DHCP Server on the LAN and
configuring DHCP bridge on F8 box.
