ZFS pool backed by iSCSI disks (LUNs)

Hello,
I have a ZFS pool formed by 3 iSCSI volumes each mapped to 3 different "filers".
The intention is to split the I/O of the pool by the 3 remote "filers" surpassing the speed of a simple NFS connection.
I'm constrained to not having any other special I/O settings (physical or logical) on the filers' side.
For instance:

For instance:
- A Solaris 11 Express with 3 network interfaces on the same vlan together with 3 more NetApps, all hosts with "mtu 9000";
- On each "filer" 1 LUN of the same size is offered via iSCSI;
- On the Solaris each iSCSI target is dedicated one of those 3 network interfaces;
