Kevin,

Thank you.  Can I use dd on a /dev/daX that is currently part of an
imported, mounted, and online zpool?  Also, if anyone can answer this
question more generally, I'd appreciate it: are there times (other
than r-x) when I do not have permission/ability to dd if=/dev/zero
of=/dev/daX?

Chris
