CX3-20 and Open-E (No MultiPath)

Scenerio:

Open-E doesnt currently have the option to have multipath on its initatior portion (This is a bug and it is getting fixed something early next year). in lieu of this I am attempting to setup each NICs (4 total) to 4 differant ISCSI ports on the CX3-20, and than create a storage group for each NIC with unique LUNS on each. I have been having issues going this route because of only 1 host is allowed per storage group, I know I can attach multiple LUN per group but Open-E see's each LUN as a unique LUN and doesnt combine despite having the same ID's.

I want to make sure there isnt a way to manually register based on IP and bybass the host name portion.

Example:

Nic 1 --> SPA Eth0 (Lun 1-4)

NIC 2 --> SPA Eth3 (Lun 5-9)

Nic 3 --> SPB Eth0 (Lun 10-14)

Nic 4 --> SPB Eth3 (Lun 15-19)

Thanks for your help.
