David Robinson,
I hope you mean  "...an out of band naming issue that need" NOT "to be
exposed in the iSCSI protocol.".

The confusion is my fault, I confused threads of discussion and read
"target" as "LU", you further correctly described that the determination
of the LU is an existing SCSI to SCSI function. The partial source of
my confusion is others wishing to lookup the LU in a nameservice,
not just the target.  But that is an out of band naming issue that
need to be exposed in the iSCSI protocol.

Maybe, but then I don't know you that well! :-)

Again, my fault, we are in complete agreement.
