Steve,

With the demuxing it would hurt performance, is this what we really
want to do?

On the other hand, I just checked our SLES 11 RC2 installation
and the TCP port unification patch is there.  If we can get a port
reserved for iSER, we should be able to enable the unification
patch by default and get out of this mess.  What do you think?
