Ok, I've been actively pouring through this discussion list reading everything I can about ZFS mirroring and remote setups.
I have a feeling that on reading everyone's input, that ZFS is purely designed to have "persistance" or "recovery" mirroring rather than "backup" mirroring. There is no intent on each mirror to be independant, like under SDS, but rather have them dependant, so they can recover each other, in case one of them fails. This makes remote mirroring under ZFS via zpools pretty useless to have a remote backup. I understand now that I have to pursue snapshotting/sending/receiving as an active alternative. Sorry about the confusion.
