There's no need to assign any addresses to the global zone.

I'm pretty sure there are others (Dan McDonald, probably) who have
experimented with the sort of configuration you're describing.

If you set up the global zone having no interfaces (just lo0), and set
up the non-global zones using the "set ip-type=exclusive" mechanism, the
non-global zones will have networking that's completely independent of
the global zone.

You can't "shut down" the global zone, but you certainly can configure
it so that it doesn't have any available networking interfaces.
