I think, the power of lofs, that it doesn't do translations, etc. like nfs
does.
This behaviour doesn't depend on if the zone is an lx zone, or a solarish
one.
If you have a dataset what you want to use in multiple zones at the same
time, then it's your responsibility to keep the same uid set in all of them.

And that's also not an impossible thing: you can use yp or ldap for this
purpose. Whatever is your favourite.

Cheers,
