At this point you have a CD/DVD image mounted on /tank/iso/centos.
It'll be read-only.

That command doesn't quite make sense.  The data you want to share is in
the CD/DVD image, not ZFS, so why ask ZFS to share anything?  And the
thing you're sharing is read-only, so how is a read-write share going to
work?

I think there's a fundamental misunderstanding here.  Once you've got a
file system mounted, you can just share it:

share -o anon=0 /tank/iso/centos

But maybe that's not quite what you want.  If you really want a writable
file system, mount up the CD/DVD image and copy it over to a ZFS file
system, then share the copied ZFS file system as you wish.
