Solaris 9 zone wont boot - interface in use

We have a Solaris 10 system with a solaris 9 branded zone. Trying to create a new lo interfaces i ended up rebooting the zone. The zone will not come up, it ran fine before i tried this. When i run the zoneadm -z zone-s9 boot command i get

"zoneadm: zone 'zone-s9': lo0:2: could not bring network interface up: address in use by zone 'global'; Cannot assign requested address

zoneadm: zone 'zone-s9':call to zoneadmd failed"

There is no lo0:2 in the global setup. The global (root) ifconfig shows lo0 (IPv4) and lo0 (IPv6) interfaces along with a couple nxge's. According to zonecfg info there are 3 nets. None of which are lo0:2

nxge0
nxge1
lo0



We have tried to do the zlogin -C but that just hangs on us. WHere the heck does the system have the lo0:2 info? i can't see it anywhere. This is persistent through a reboot of the system as well. How do i get the zone to start.
