Nick,

Good point,

A second port on the target.  If there is a second port on the initiator and
it is attempting to set up a second connection on the initiator then
presumably it can handle session spanning.  

Matthew,

Is your question below presuming a second port is being used on the
initiator, 
or a second port is being used on the target, or both?

Thanks,
Nick Martin
