When I did a demo using a Centos 7.3 LX branded zone last week, I used
VirtualBox and it's built-in DHCP server for the OmniOS Bloody host.

I simply omitted the IP address when I configured the zone.  From the
zone console, I then used the native "ipadm create-addr -T dhcp ..." to
obtain an address from within the zone.  I can provide details if anyone
would like to see them.

Worked Just Fine(tm). :-)
