You'll have to excuse me, I was a FreeBSD developer since 1996, so I tend to use many of the languages from that technology... And before that I was a SunOS 4 girl *grins*... somewhere in there I did a little Solaris work, when BSD didn't pay the bills and Solaris did, then I worked for VA Linux/OSDN for 2 years... So I have a long OpenSource pedigree, but I've been out of the Solaris world since 1995 or so... > Now that IP Instances (exclusive-stack zones) has integrated, you can > place a VLAN into a zone.

I would love for this technology to be more stable, right now we have a major panic on incoming TCP on the *first* NIC instance brought up (in our case this is always bfe0), however we have worked around this by giving bfe0 a VNIC (vnic999) representing bfe0, and that allows incoming TCP connections fine without the panic, so does all the other interfaces (bfe1-3).... Hopefully this will be solved when we get the Beta (this week?) -Trish (SPL)
