While the results might not be pretty, if each PC exports a drive via 
iSCSI and mirroring is used with plenty of PCs in each mirror, it 
seems like it would "work" but with likely dismal performance if a PC 
was turned off (retries and 3+ minute iSCSI failure recovery logic). 
There would be additional dismal performance when the PC is turned 
back on due to cumulative resilvering.
