I am suggesting next setup:
node0:
own pool zroot0: mirror-0: local_disk0
remote-iscsi_disk1/1
local_disk1: exported by iscsi as remote-iscsi_disk0/1 to node1
node1:
own pool zroot1: mirror-0: local_disk0
remote-iscsi_disk0/1
local_disk1: exported by iscsi as remote-iscsi_disk1/1 to node0
No HAST.
Disks synced by ZFS over iSCSI.
