Arun,

When running OpenSolaris as a VirtualBox guest, the DHCP service is 
provided by the VirtualBox process. I don't know if VirtualBox will 
respond to requests from multiple guest NICs if your host only has one 
active NIC. If it does, then you should be able to follow this procedure 
described in Steffen Weiberle's blog:

Anyway, this seems to be more of a question about VirtualBox networking, 
than zones.
