dropbear-initramfs possible with open-iscsi during boot, using different NICs?

I have a system with dropbear-initramfs to unlock crypto containers during boot. The system has a second NIC that I will be using to attach iSCSI disks to the system, some of which / may wind up moving to. (/boot will remain attached locally.) It seems that there is support for iSCSI during b
