There's also a commercial NetBSD based iSCSI appliance of which I don't know whether the iSCSI part is open. I doubt it, though. If it were, that'd be the place to start. > Can you be more specific about frontend and backend?

Or use Linux and get both problems solved for "free" (not entirely, cause you get bugged by Linux ;-).
