Hello, All.

Well, I'm happy to report that I got the virtual networking to work, with the Crossbow virtual routers, etherstubs, etc. to do all the port forwarding to the various zones via our limited number of static IP Addresses.  Glory be to our holy God!!!

And surprisingly enough, it really is not all that complex.  

I don't have it fully implemented yet, but if all continues to go well, this should all work the Solaris way.  (As opposed to just making a Solaris server the Linux way.)

I'll try to write up something for the wiki, as Stefan requested.  Like I said, though, I think when it's done, someone more knowledgeable than me should probably review it.

This makes me real happy!!!

I wanted to take our network to a higher level.  I had no idea when I started this process that it would come to this!

Thanks again, everyone, for all of your help and advice.
