What happens if you have several LDOMs on a single machine configured
for active(vnet0)/standby(vnet1) and vsw0 in the service ldom loses
link?

It seems to me that IPMP could be pinging IP addresses that are on
other LDOMs on the same physical box and as such all of the LDOMs
could be isolated from the network but none of them would detect it.
As such, even though the standby interface is available and working,
all of the LDOMs would be invisible to any devices outside of the
single box.

I think that this situation could be highly likely on private subnets
that do not have a default route.

Having the link state propogated would be highly desirable.  Are there
technical limitations that prevent this or has it just not been
implemented yet?
