I think this is caused by Apache trying to bind to an IP that does not have a PTR record or other way to turn the IP into a name. I ran into this a bit ago when booting a server that has an interal IP used to communicate with its platform controller. This IP did not have a name. I temporarily solved the problem by changing from _default_ to '*', but this not a good solution because now Apache has bound to this special IP. I suspect this is why the platform controller can not talk to the Solaris domain, but I'm going to wait until tomorrow before messing with it further.
