I was going to include this reference in my previous response...

A lot of things that used to be in /etc/system are no longer there since

1. it does no syntax checking
2. it applies to the whole system
3. it requires a reboot to take effect

So I think the answer is still that you do general IP stack tuning on 
the zone that "owns" the stack--the global zone for share IP Instances, 
and the individual non-global zone(s) for exclusive IP Instances.

Things you still may tune in /etc/system affect drivers, and some things 
such as ip_squeue_fanout. I suspect the list of non-driver, non-NFS 
tunables via /etc/system is small.
