Are there any zone limitations (networking or zone initialization 
ordering) which would prevent a "DHCP server" zone from providing DHCP 
services for other zones on the same system which use dhcp to 
configure their interfaces?  That is my current situation.  Some zones 
are nailed down with static assignments while others (used for more 
transient purposes) use DHCP to get their configuration.
