RFE: Solaris Zones enhancements

Trying to setup mmm in enviroment, where there are several separate Zones 
configured, and 
mysql is running inside a Zone. The idea is to have this zoned mysql "mirrored" 
in zone on 
another server.

However, ifconfig commands are not available inside a zone, so IP adresses 
can't be added / 
removed, ...

To solve this shortcomming, one could enhance the workflow and config, so that 
there will be 
special mmm_agent running in global-zone, that could do the IP manipulation. 
Discover the 
zone the host_ip is in, is no problem, adding an interface a attaching to a 
zone is one-liner as 
well.

We only need to declare the configuration somewhere - that node_ip's 
"global-zone" IP is this.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
MMM 2+, Solaris 10, mysqls in zones.

Just an idea to see if there is someone else interested, and probably to get 
feedback from 
maintainers where and how best add this configuration. I will try to do the 
coding of global-
zone-agent but maybe there is such effort already running.
