That wouldn't be any different than if they were on separate Dom0s.  You're 
talking about having two systems accessing the same block device.

Honestly, for data that I need shared between multiple Dom0s or DomUs, I use 
NFS, and it still works great.

        OK. But supppose I need two domUs (in the same dom0) needing the same
iSCSI resource. Could they share it if I configure it in the dom0?
