I haven't seen it specifically, but:
- nsupdate might be sending a query (over UDP) to fill in missing info, such as the zone or server to update.
- Your Solaris container might be the problem. I've heard of problems running named in a container, typically performance problems but this type of behavior might explain a performance issue.
