iSCSI over WAN doesn't make much sense.
You're right, the discovery machinery sends IP addresses, which won't work if
the target is behind NAT. If you can tell the client to connect directory to a
configured target IP address, that might work.
It sounds like your client side has NAT; I don't see why that would be a
problem.
Still, you might want to change to some other protocol that's optimized for WAN
use. While in theory nothing prevents iSCSI from working there, it was
certainly never considered a reasonable scenario.
