Yes the target has support for option 3.
steps to do this:
    1) create 2 portal groups:
             # iscsitadm create tpgt 1
             # iscsitadm create tpgt 2
    2) assign the ip address to each portal group
             # iscsitadm modify tpgt -i <ip address-1> 1
             # iscsitadm modify tpgt -i <ip address-2> 2
    3) assign the tpgt back to the target
             # iscsitadm modify target -p 1 <local-target-name>
             # iscsitadm modify target -p 2 <local-target-name>
