[OpenIndiana-discuss] Networking with Zones an Crossbow

[Gabriel de la Cruz]

I don't see why not to use a bridge either, promiscuous mode at the
level you have on your setup should be meaningless to your data
center.
You wont be the first one doing this kind of setup, most of network
virtualization deployments would be impossible otherwise.
