Running DHCP server in Solaris 10 container

Hello, 

I've been able to get ISC's DHCP server running in a Solaris 10
container (zone) by following this thread: 

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=dhcp-users&m=114417511013383&w=2 

Simply commenting ALIAS_NAMES_PERMUTED out of sunos5-5.h did not work
for me. I had to comment out the following code from discover.c: 

#ifdef ALIAS_NAMES_PERMUTED
                if ((s = strrchr (ifp -> ifr_name, ':'))) {
                        *s = 0;
                }
#endif

Is there a reason the DHCP server strips the :1 off interface names or
can this modification be incorporated into future releases? 

Thanks, 
Keith.
