Solaris 11 or OI zones: redirecting network traffic to NGZ? Using Virtualization?

Does anyone know how to redirect IP packets from a GZ interface to a NGZ? I think this may be due to virtual (multiple) MAC addresses per NIC interacting with VMWare and VirtualBox and there is a potential solution below involved in placing the Host NIC (through VMWare or VirtualBox in promiscuous mode) including the Gust OS NIC. Unsure if it's the best solution. The GZ is on interface net0 (phys) 192.168.0.10 and NGZ on zone/net0 (vnic) 192.168.0.11. I'm trying to bring up a DNS server in the NGZ at 192.168.0.11. So far, I can use the packet filter / firewall to redirect DNS ports (NGZ won't allow me to use privileged ports) to the GZ for testing. I have NAT working using pass in on net0 from 192.168.0.11 to any nat-to (net0), however I still can't get traffic from the 192.168.0.0/24 subnet through physical net0 to route to the NGZ at 192.168.0.11. FYI -- I'm using VMWare on a Mac and it created a bridge for the 192.168.0.0/24 subnet.
