As Thomas mentioned, access control with iscsi-target to individual
TargetName+TargetPortalGroupTag endpoints is done using InitiatorName
and/or CHAP authentication credentials.

One option for your use-case would be use NIC aliases (eg: eth0:0) with
specific IP addresses that are used as network portals to individual
TargetName+TargetPortalGroupTag endpoints.

This can be used in combination with iptables rules to limit traffic
from a specific initiator IP to individual target endpoints containing
the aliased network portal IPs.

HTH.
