continue using rsync between a ZFS pool and an LVM2 pool.  At the very
least, have two ZFS pools.

For ZFS over iSCSI, have some zpool-layer redundancy because ZFS seems
to be far more vulnerable to corruption if the redundancy is below the
iSCSI layer, especially when the iSCSI targets reboot and ZFS does not.

I get some strange livelock-ish behavior with heavily-loaded Linux IET
targets, so set up something that you can test, but something you can
back out of if, after a month or two, you find it's not stable.

let me know how it goes.  I want to try dm_crypt under iSCSI, too, as
soon as my VIA board finally arrives.
