Been thinking about this and I have a suggestion.
1) The lx_install script could be extended with an option to specify
guest OS
2) A number of prepared templates for each supported guest OS is created
3) According to the specified guest OS, given it is supported, the
matching template is used to tailor a boot script in the top zone
folder with the needed configuration for network, route, and resolv.conf
4) When the command to boot the zone is called prior to booting the
zone this boot script is read to populate network, route, and
resolv.conf in the guest OS. This can later be extended to other guest
OS specific configuration

The top zone folder will look like this:
lx_zone---
         |
         ---  dev (folder)
         |
         ---  root (folder)
         |
         ---  boot.ini
