Given that local zone-to-zone traffic goes via IP loopback, and that
IP Filter connects into the stack via DLPI (well below the point where
loopback occurs), the latter part above seems somewhat unlikely to be
helpful on the current implementation.

I don't think there's any disputing that there are situations in which
it just doesn't do what's wanted, or that there's more work needed.

The point of my message was to describe the externally-validated
assumptions that were used in the original design, in the hope that
this might illustrate _why_ it does what it currently does.  I'm not
trying to justify those choices, or assert that the system will
necessarily do something that works for you specifically.
