zfs discuss - Aug 2009 - zfs startup question

Hello,
  I have a quick question I cant seem to find a good answer for.  I have a 
S10U7 server that is running zfs to a couple of iSCSI shares on one of our sans,
we use a routed network to connect to our iSCSI shares with the route statements
in solaris. During normal operations it works fine however after every reboot
the system tries to mount the iSCSI shares but it cannot reach them due to the
fact it has not brought up the routing for it yet and the iscsi sessions take
forever to time out.  Does anyone know a way around this  other than putting the
iSCSI shares and the iSCSI nic''s on the same subnet?

Thank you.

It seems that there must be a missing dependency in the service 
manifests.  A dependency needs to be established between the iSCSI 
service and the routing service which adds the needed routes.  This 
ensures that routing is running before iSCSI is started.
