Advanced Sysconfig use when building non-global zones in Solaris 11

I'm in an LDOM. I'm building non-global IP exclusive zones. I am using manifests and profiles to configure the system after install so I don't have to tab through the sysconfig startup dialog everytime I boot a system the first time for settings that never change (DNS, regional data, NTP etc). I have everything working through the profile accept if I use the profile to ARP for a DHCP address on a nic I can't request a hostname from DNS so that DNS gets updated. DNS is on a MS Domain Controller.

If I do this manually I can use IPADM that allows for -h hostname when you do the create-addr but that requires manual intervention and I am building ALOT of zones. I want to minimize post build config as much as possible and even if I ARP DHCP automatically with sysconfig profiles I still have to go unconfigure and reconfigure the address to get the DNS entry updated.

any ideas?

Solaris 10 - rexplorer and Non-Global zones

Hi all - not really a problem as such, but just hoping someone can shed some light. We point rexplorer to multiple Global zones and it works as expected. However, each Non-Global zone get around a hundred of root su'ing to root messages, i.e.: SU 07/14 03:02 + ??? root-root SU 07/14 03:02 +...

NAME

       Net::DNS::Mailbox - DNS mailbox representation

SYNOPSIS

	   use Net::DNS::Mailbox;

	   $mailbox = new Net::DNS::Mailbox('user@example.com');
	   $address = $mailbox->address;

DESCRIPTION

       The Net::DNS::Mailbox module implements a subclass of DNS domain name objects representing the DNS coded form of RFC822 mailbox address.

METHODS

   new
	   $mailbox = new Net::DNS::Mailbox('John.Doe@example.com');
	   $mailbox = new Net::DNS::Mailbox('John Doe <j.doe@example.com>');

       Creates a mailbox object which represents the DNS domain encoded form of the mail address specified by the character string argument.

       The argument string consists of printable characters from the 7-bit ASCII repertoire.

   address
	   $address = $mailbox->address;

       Returns a character string corresponding to the RFC822 form of mailbox address of the domain as described in RFC1035 section 8.

       The string consists of printable characters from the 7-bit ASCII repertoire.

DOMAIN NAME COMPRESSION AND CANONICALISATION

       The Net::DNS::Mailbox1035 and Net::DNS::Mailbox2535 subclass packages implement RFC1035 domain name compression and RFC2535
       canonicalisation.
