Shailendra, this is a substantial feature requested for RHEL 4. Since we are currently focusing our efforts on the open-iscsi codebase for RHEL 5, it could be RHEL 4.6 or 4.7 until this may be included. I'll tentatively have this on the list for 4.6, but this is assuming the iSNS code for RHEL 5.1 can be reused enough to make it easy to include. We'll keep you posted. In the meantime, it would be benefitial to monitor the iSNS upstream functionality for RHEL 5.
