I wonder if you could use rsync in some way, perhaps by piping the
transfer in case the source server doesn't have enough space for a
local zfs dump.


If I had room to do a "zfs send > phat_file" I would do that, and then rsync it over. But alas, we are moving this storage to a bigger storage due to the lack of room.

Rsync can do squat when it comes to "zfs send | rsync" since there is no seek on the pipe.

If "zfs send" had a mmaped device entry, OR, say like that of zvol /dev/zvol/dsk/ entry, we'd have something sexy :)
