Great, thanks!

I've not used solaris yet but I've worked with many different unixes, 
if you can give me access I could probably help (limited time ATM 
though).

Good idea, but I'm not sure if we want to have three versions there, 
maybe we should start with the release and go from there?

You mean a mod_proxy kind of thing? That's what I'd suggest, there's no 
reason why it shouldn't work in a zone.

The easiest thing IMHO is to just start Cocoon with "./cocoon.sh 
servlet", from a script started from rc.d (dunno how it works under 
solaris though), and use a specific user for this (say "demo1"). Makes 
it very easy to setup and monitor.

Then, if you want to run several versions, start more instances and add 
mod_proxy configs to access them.

I have some example configs that I could provide if you need them.

Once we have one instance going with a mod_proxy setup, it shouldn't be 
hard to add more of them, if the CPU/memory resources allow it (don't 
know yet how powerful these zones are).

But if it's trunk, someone will have to setup automatic updating from 
svn. Not hard but needs to be done.

Also, it might be good to run each instance under its own username, to 
make monitoring or killing them easier.

Having all three would be nice. If I had to chose one I would start with 
trunk. That will give it some stress testing and make it mature faster. 
Also it will make us *very* motivated to fix bugs ;)
