Mm well, to be really honest, it would be nice to be able to export to multiple subnets through the use of zfs properties in a documented and supported way. :-) For all those experimenting with the hack I wrote above, make sure you write the /path/to/mountpoint without typo's. If you do for starters it won't have the desired effect, and for two if you change the property again your /etc/zfs/exports file is screwed. Just thought I should mention it. ;-) Marco -- Nothing takes the past away like the future - Madonna in Nothing Really Matters
