Changing the host and ipnodes lines in nsswitch.conf to "files dns", does solve the name resolution problem from within a zone.
Thanks! Unfortunately, ipfilter still gets disabled. `svcs -xv` states that ipfilter was temporarily disabled by the administrator. I am the only administrator on the box, and I did not disable it. So clearly something else is doing something behind my back... The log file (network-ipfilter:default.log) says: "stopping because dependency activity requires stop". I have no idea how to interpret this message.
