If I understand you correctly, then yes, what you propose is possible
(even without ZFS), using NFS. But one can't remotely "force" a server
to mount a file system; the file system has to be made available and
interested clients must mount it. So:
1. Make file system available (e.g., use share).
2. Have the client mount it r/w so that it can load its data.
3. have the other clients mount it r-only.

Yes.
