I'm trying to run the dhcp server in a Solaris 10 container/zone. The 
server has built and
installed without issue. But I am unable to start the server as it 
cannot find the loopback
interface lo0.

Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Server V3.1.0

Wrote 0 deleted host decls to leases file.
Wrote 0 new dynamic host decls to leases file.
Wrote 0 leases to leases file.
Can't get interface flags for lo0: No such device or address

The container/zone does not have this interface, as it is a logical 
mapped onto the global zone. The config
only requires serving requests on the qfe4:1 interface

lo0:3: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL> mtu 
8232 index 1
        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
qfe4:1: flags=1040843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,DEPRECATED,IPv4> 
mtu 1500 index 7
        inet 192.168.20.232 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.168.20.255

very basic config file:-

        ddns-update-style ad-hoc;

        subnet 127.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 {
        }

        subnet 129.159.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0 {
        }

        subnet 192.168.20.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
                range 192.168.20.10 192.168.20.100;
        }

        host etherlite01 {
                hardware ethernet 00:A0:E7:21:B7:DE;
                fixed-address 192.168.20.10;
                filename "/tftpboot/80007009_E.bin";
        }

Can anyone help, or is this a none starter?
