What I was trying to do was have the option of running multiple zones, on different hosts, configured with the same IP address on a VNI interface so a loadbalancer can balance between different zones, each with the same configuration as far as the application, running within the zone,is concerned. If I give each zone a unique address on the bge0 intf. and an application address on the vni, will the zone be able to route traffic out to the client? For example: service address=10.1.1.1 default gateway=192.168.1.254 zone1 on host1 has 192.168.1.1 on bge0 and 10.1.1.1 on vni0 zone1 on host2 has 192.168.1.2 on bge0 and 10.1.1.1 on vni0 The loadbalancer routes 10.1.1.1 traffic for session1 to 192.168.1.1 Would traffic from zone1 be able to go out to the internet using the default gateway 192.168.1.254 with a source of 10.1.1.1 or would the source become 192.168.1.1 ( even if the application binds to 10.1.1.1 ) ? Is there some documentation on the routing in Solaris 10 esp. in combination with zones ?
