Not sure what you are asking for. Do you want to prevent non-global zones from reaching the outside 
network, either at all or only indirectly? Or just make sure inter-zone traffic does not go out the 
network? Or something else.

There is no concept of a virtual router or switch in the current Solaris implementation. Without 
crossbow, interzone traffic will stay within the system. With crossbow, it will be forced to leave 
the system if a zone has an exclusive IP instance.
