[crossbow-discuss] VNIC and ipv4 forwarding

[Sunay Tripathi]

Thierry,

To do this properly, you need the newer bits that should get pushed
out very soon. You create a anchor VNIC and create VNICs (say VNIC-A)
on top of it for non-global zones and one for global zone. At this
point, global zone can route between the bge0 and VNIC-A (and
the local zones).

Cheers,
Sunay
