That's very similar to my setup, two x4540s (Solaris 10U6) sending to each other and an x4500 (Solaris 10U5) with a tape unit. > > I have been attempting to do this, but I keep producing "toxic" > streams that panic the receiving host.

I haven't had to do that, I either use atime=off, readonly=on (the staging server) or zfs receive -F to squash filesytem changed errors.
