I have a keen interest in this as well.  I would really like zones to
be able to independently fail over between hosts in a zone farm.  The
work coming out of the Indiana, IPS, Caiman, etc. projects imply that
zones will have to be on zfs.  In order to fail zones over between
systems independently either I need to have a zpool per zone or I need
to have per-dataset replication.  Considering that with some workloads
20+ zones on a T2000 is quite feasible, a T5240 could be pushing 80+
zones and as such a relatively large number of zpools.
