The host (global zone) is booted prior to the zone and so it can not 
use the services of the zone until the zone is booted.  If the DNS 
server is running in the zone then some other means needs to be used 
for hostname/IP resolution while it is down.  The zone is typically 
down while booting and during system updates.

I don't see how this could be considered "strange".
