It's not in Solaris 10; it's in OpenSolaris. In general, new features go into the release under development, not the intended-to-be-highly- reliable-and-stable patch stream. If these are regular (shared IP stack instance) zones that you're creating, then this shouldn't be an issue. They just need distinct IP addresses, not separate NICs. If these are exclusive IP stack instance zones, then you can use separate VLANs instead. Four NICs should allow you to create 16376 separate interfaces that way. For what it's worth, Solaris 10 isn't OpenSolaris, but this list is on opensolaris.org. You might want to consider upgrading to OpenSolaris or talking with Sun's support group about Solaris 10 support plans. -- James Carlson 42.703N 71.076W <carlsonj at workingcode.com>
