I wonder if this is nwam. It can also save and restore network settings,
apparently.
Some details are embedded in /lib/svc/method/net-loc and
/lib/svc/method/net-nwam,
but I'm not sure if there's much in the way of accurate documentation.

(But I would start with:
/usr/sbin/nwamcfg list
/usr/sbin/nwamcfg "select loc Automatic ; get -V dns-nameservice-configsrc"
and investigate from there.)
