Solaris 10 Virtual interface performance for zones

I have a Sunfire T-2000 running zones. One one of the virtual zones, it
is running ftp. It is running virtual on the e1000g3 interface, but ftp
sessions were being dropped consistently. I changed it to use the e1000g2
interface with same results, and e1000g2. When I changed it to run on
e1000g0, it works perfect and very fast. I ran the command "dladm
show-dev" and all interfaces are running 100meg full duplex. The global
zone runs on e1000g0. Is there something that requires the virtual
interfaces to run on the same physical interface that the global runs on?
Is there some work around? I hear the latest release of Solaris 10 08/07
may have some kinda of tcp stack fix, is this what it is addressing?
Thanks.
