Solaris Zones

I have a Solaris 10 box configured with a global zone and 3 non-global zones. All of the zones need to be configured so they can access and run an application in the global zone located at /export/home. How do i make this application and all of its accompanying files available to the 3 non-global zones?

example from man zonecfg

Code:
       zonecfg:myzone3> add fs
       zonecfg:myzone3:fs> set dir=/export/home
       zonecfg:myzone3:fs> set special=/export/home
       zonecfg:myzone3:fs> set type=lofs
       zonecfg:myzone3:fs> add options [ro,nodevices]
       zonecfg:myzone3:fs> end

after just use commit or reboot zone

These changes need to be made on each zone and then added to the configuration by using the commit command. Is that correct? Will having the two export/home directories cause any problems with the zone configurations (mounted /export/home and export/home that currently exists on the zones)?

Yes. The commit command isn't strictly necessary as it is done anyway automatically when you quite zonecfg.

Yes. They will hide the previous /export/home content that might exist in the non global zones. Specify the subdirectory containing the application to avoid this issue.
