[OpenIndiana-discuss] New Zone User Questions

"Or am I missing something here?  (And that's entirely possible!)"

You are not gonna like my answer since it ads even more complexity but you
can (theoretically) use single IP and have a lot of globally available
services in different physical or virtual computers by using NAT and port
mapping techniques or reverse proxying requests from internet into your
NATed LAN.
eg. Google's enormous cloud (www.google.com) is seen (from my location)  by
only 5  v4 and 1 v6 IP address.
