It seems to me there is possibly some confusion of terminology here...

There should be no way that the iSCSI target drives themselves should be 
listed in the VLDB. If additional ethernet cards were added to the 
server to connect to the iSCSI targets, they would be treated the same 
as any other ethernet interface, since they're just carrying TCP/IP 
traffic. If clients have viable routes to the added ethernet interfaces 
in the server, the openafs traffic might reduce the bandwidth available 
to the iSCSI connections, but other than that it should work.

If the clients don't have viable routes to the additional ethernet 
interfaces on the server, but are still trying to use those addresses, 
there's something else going on....
