NACK.  Your interpretation of RFC-3720 is incorrect.  There is nothing
that says that a single IP address cannot be shared across multiple
TargetName+TargetPortalGroupTag endpoints.

A Network Portal is ip:port, not just IP. I'd agree two TPGs can use the same IP as long as they listen on different ports.

But that bit I quoted seems pretty clear. How should it be alternatively interpreted?
