You should consider using SMB or NFS and storing the files in native ZFS filesystem format. I think that this would work better for ZFS snapshots than the single large file used by iSCSI. The files could be shared by more than one host, including being visible to your server for administrative purposes. ZFS snapshots of iSCSI disks are not assured to be coherent from the perspective of the remote host which uses it and will be more similar to what you get when you abruply unplug the power from your remote host unless you take care to shut down the remote host prior to snapshotting. Certainly Apple's journalling will help here, but journalling works by losing some data.
