Yes, they all need to be plumbed. A 0.0.0.0 address is sufficient in the 
global zone. however, routing will be the best term fails me unless at 
some time you have an address of the other subnet configured so routes 
can be set up. At least until after one zone has booted (but I have 
never tried all the possible permutations and timeouts (how long after 
the last zone is halted will the entry go away and when you boot a zone 
again its traffic won't go where you expect it to). Not sure if setting 
a persistent route 'route -p add...' will do the trick.

OpenSolaris build 84 and later has the shim in place to that you can use 
legacy NICs.
