Since your patch for allowing hostnames in $ISCSI_TARGET_RE was already
applied for PVE9.0 [1], your initial patch doesn't apply cleanly anymore
on top of current pve-storage. Just so we are on the same page regarding
the patch we're discussing, could you send the patch you now applied on
your PVE9 node, rebased on current pve-storage?

I don't currently have a test setup where the target advertises a portal
via its hostname, hence my question: Do I understand correctly that
`iscsiadm -m node` shows the hostname, and `iscsiadm -m session` shows
the IP the hostname resolves to? And nas.12345.com resolves to 192.168.1.10?

Best wishes,

Friedrich
