    On Solaris you can "snoop" an interface which is down:
    
    # ifconfig -a
    lo0: flags=849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 8232
            inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
    hme0: flags=863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
            inet <censored> netmask <censored> broadcast <censored>
            ether <censored>
    le0: flags=842<BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
            inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0
            ether <censored>
    # snoop -d le0
    Using device /dev/le (promiscuous mode)
    202.99.168.11 -> <censored>     HTTP (body)
    195.101.197.218 -> www.pilotschool.net HTTP C port=37004
        <censored> -> 202.99.168.11 HTTP C port=53889
    202.99.168.11 -> <cesnored>     HTTP (body)
               ? -> *            ETHER Type=9000 (Loopback), size = 60 bytes
