Yes, they all need to be plumbed. A 0.0.0.0 address is sufficient in the
global zone. however, routing will be 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.
