Update and final solution/workaround!

<For SRSS to work properly, all interfaces utilized by clients must be plumbed and configured in the global zone, since that's where SRSS software runs.> <Then logical interface instances of those interfaces can be used in the local zones for TX security, but these are invisible to SRSS.

Both e1000g0 and e1000g1 are in the global zone (tnrhdb) and are physical 
interfaces. I'm not using logical interaces for SRSS. Won't work, as you say.

<The group manager information (echo gstatus | /opt/SUNWut/lib/utnetpipe localhost 7010) is used in the same way by all of utgstatus, utswitch -l, utselect, and the web interface. You must always restart SRSS after making changes to auth.props.>

Same, always did "utrestart" after making changes.

<If you share a single subnet between your servers (configured in the global zone), then using broadcast is going to greatly simplify your troubleshooting. Be sure to restart SRSS after making such a change, and you'll have a wait a few seconds for the group to assemble.>

Also same. I've got two physical networks shared between the global zones. One 
is for external communications for multi-level printing, auditing, out-of-band 
communications, etc. The other is exclusively for SRSS.

SOLUTION/Workaround:
I went ahead and used utgmtarget and set up my two servers, using the server1-srss and server2-srss host names. Did a "utrestart", and voila, utselect, utswitch, utgstatus, and the web SRSS GUI show both FOG servers.
Apparently, my TX setup has a problem with multicast/broadcast packets. Maybe 
something in the configuration of the Multilevel ports.

I'm only expecting to have a few FOG members, so adding ones is not a problem.

Bob, thanks much for your support, and the rest of the SunRay-users as well. 
Always learning something good here. More troubleshooting techniques are always 
good.

Back to lurking!

Strange. I enabled "multicastAddress = 224.101.101.101", did a "utrestart -c" on both servers, and now "utgstatus" works on both systems. But I still don't get both servers in the Sun Ray web GUI, utselect or utswitch. I'm wondering, based on the web GUI, if Sun Ray has somehow set up two interfaces, my global zone (176.1.0.x) as a LAN, without being commanded to, or configured properly, and my intended interconnect (192.168.110.x) properly configured.

For SRSS to work properly, all interfaces utilized by clients must be plumbed and configured in the global zone, since that's where SRSS software runs. Then logical interface instances of those interfaces can be used in the local zones for TX security, but these are invisible to SRSS.

The SRSS group membership traffic runs over the global zone interfaces, not the labeled zone instances.

The group manager information (echo gstatus | /opt/SUNWut/lib/utnetpipe localhost 7010) is used in the same way by all of utgstatus, utswitch -l, utselect, and the web interface. You must always restart SRSS after making changes to auth.props.

If you share a single subnet between your servers (configured in the global zone), then using broadcast is going to greatly simplify your troubleshooting. Be sure to restart SRSS after making such a change, and you'll have a wait a few seconds for the group to assemble.
