My normal procedure is to image-update, reboot, check that everything is 
working then update each zone. This has always worked because the zones 
would still be running. All my external services are running in zones 
(dns, smtp, http, ftp) so when I reboot I have no dns and therefore 
can't update the zones. Not much I can do about the single point of 
failure so is there a way I can update the zone before I reboot?
