When using non-global zones, the network stream didn't leave the global zone. Although very interesting when looking for performance for multi-tiers applications hosted on non-global zones from the same system, it can be a problem when it comes to segregate different networks used by the different non-global zones.

To my knowledge, IP Filter can be use from the global zone to help in this case. But a more cleaner approach would be to block (reject) the route between those non-global zones. For example, if one non-global zone has an IP address of addrX, and the second non-global zone has an address of addrY, then the following commands will prevent network traffic from passing between the two zones.

# route add addrX addrY -interface -reject
# route add addrY addrX -interface -reject

The problem is, when there is a lot of non-global zones you need to segregate, you need to add 2^n routes, which represents 32 routes for 5 non-global zones... Not very scalable, and not manageable. If someone know a better solution, please feel free to comment this post.
