The info is definitely there:

[root@test01 ~]# dhcpinfo 6
192.168.10.1

Is there a /etc/rc.local equivalent for smartos?  Or ideally is there a
ifup/ifdown script that runs on a network interface change.

Doing this update purely on reboot is potentially only partially useful.
That said servers are meant to be some  what "more" static. However if you
have a hundred nodes, and want to change a DNS services, being forced to
reboot all the nodes may be a pain.

It's not a super urgent feature. It's good to know that it's effectively
not working at the moment. Saves me time trying to out some configuration
knob that doesn't exist.
