You can have multiple logical interfaces on one NIC, so you don't
need multiple NICs unless they have to be connected to different
segments. You don't give any info about what your servers are
(e.g. web servers, some home-brew application, etc). Many applications
can be configured to bind to just specific addresses, rather than
everything, so you can in effect bind them to a logical interface.

A future version of Solaris will contain some additional Container
features to specifically help out in this area.
