If I want swap I use a zvol on the pool - if you set the zfs
porperty 'org.freebsd:swap' to 'on' then it will swaap to it
quite happily.

But in actual practice I usually stuff the machine with RAM and
run without swap enabled. In the case of the specific machine in
question it just does simple low volume file serving and has 44GB
in it, which is plenty for a ZFS fileserver.
