[OpenIndiana-discuss] Creating a network with zones

[Joris FAGBEMIRO]

Hi Jon.
I'm planning to work (deployment of a datacenter) on a server which have 3
physical NIC.
Within this server,there will be a lot of servers (zones) distributed among
four networks. Each network have his set of servers and a firewall which is
the gate.
Now to enable communications between these networks, i have to create a
zone which will be the router. This router must be connected to each
firewall.
So i want to know that, if it is possible to connect a VNIC of each
firewall to a VNIC of tge router?or should i create an etherstub?
Hop that it's more comprehensible!!
