Thanks Matt. So is the config/meta info for the pool that is stored
within the pool kept in a file? Is the file user readable or binary?

Have a look at the contents of /etc/zfs for an in-filesystem artefact
of zfs. Apart from that, the information required is stored on the
disk itself.
There is really good documentation on ZFS at the ZFS community
pages found via http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/zfs.
FYI, /etc/zfs/zpool.cache just tells us what pools to open when you
boot up. Everything else (mountpoints, filesystems, etc) is stored in
the pool itself.
