You can't scp into a pipe, but ssh will do.

Run cdrecord with -dummy first, that way you won't ruin a blank disk,
to see whether your network and ssh pipe are fast enough.
Run cdrecord with less than the maximum speed supported by your burner
until you find a speed at which the network no longer is a problem.
On 192.168.1.1:
ssh 192.168.1.2 "cdrecord dev=whatever speed=whatever -dummy -" < solaris.iso
Or something like that, anyway.
