Yes, sort of.  The NMC should run fine in the Child Zone, but you're going to 
see the Child's processes on the Global (where Networker is forcing you to run 
nsrd).  This may cause confusion.

We just concluded testing and documenting of LDOM, and like it a lot (its 
hardware-level VM for T series Sparc chips).  If you want to have NMC stay in 
sparc-land, that would be a more than reasonable option.
