I've been using NWAM on a computer with one static and one dynamic IP
interface.  Is that close to what you need?  This was with Solaris 11
Express, so it may be different with OI.

I found that I couldn't use the default `Automatic' ncp and loc.  I
had to create a new ncp, a new ncu, and a new loc with `nwamcfg'.
Then I enabled the new loc with `nwamadm', replacing the `Automatic'
loc.  This enabled ipfilter and replaced /etc/resolv.conf and
/etc/nsswitch.conf .  Then I used `nwamcfg' to create the ncu phys
and ncu ip for the static interface.  I also had to use it to create
a default route, associated with the dynamic interface.

It is quite a complicated procedure, but it is documented in the
nwamadm and nwamcfg man pages.
