This is a complex topic with so many places to go about your exact problem.

The first thing I think you should look at is the /etc/nsswitch.conf file in
the localzone.

Make sure that on the hosts: line you see dns listed, for example
hosts: files dns

Then restart the name-services in the localzone:
svcadm restart name-services

If this still does not work, I suggest that you reconfigure the zone.  Run
sys-unconfig in the zone.  It will unconfigure things like Timezone, zone
hostname, network config, etc.  It will then reboot and you can specify it
again from scratch.

If this still does not work please provide more details of the
configuration.  Please start with the info shown by zonecfg -z zonename
export
