The subnet carrying our iSCSI traffic is a dedicated, private, isolated network. There are no default gateways to the outside world it can not be routed. The only members on the iSCSI subnet would be ESX hosts, and SAN/NAS controllers.
The 2nd site is not just a DR site, it is an secondary location which accesses the same NFS volume, but in a read-only capacity, so yes we access the data from the secondary site. We currently sync the data in this volume using rsync and shell scripts.
I gather from your reply that this replication method would interrupt any active NFS service on the target device ...

Thx for the prompt reply, does Dell have a NAS device that supports an active/active configuration ?
