What we have is:
svc:/network/dns/multicast:default   optional  restart_on restart
svc:/network/tftp/udp6:default         optional   restart_on none
svc:/network/http:apache22             required  restart_on none

Dave,

The issue around using the SMF property groups, I believe, is the 
scalability factor. To do this we  need to have a list of n sets of 
properties one for each possible install service. In our discussion last 
week you mentioned that SMF properties didn't scale very well.

Or are you talking about starting up a new smf service for each install 
service? In that case the property groups would work very well.
