I have seen a similiar issue about 2-3 years ago with an ATTO bridge.  I
think Sun has an initiator bug open to have it ignore 0.0.0.0 addresses.  At
the time it was causing problems similiar to what your seeing and the
workaround was to use static configuration.

In the case of ATTO I couldn't convince them not to return the bogus
0.0.0.0 addresses.  They were using this information as a place holder
in the management software.

Maybe the multi-homing is confusing the solaris target, causing it to 
return 0.0.0.0 addresses.  Rick or the code might have a better idea on
that one?

The current iSCSI initiator will only use the last (due to backward sort
order) SendTargets address unless you get into the -c options,  although
I don't think you want to do that in this case.  There is an open RFE for
the iSCSI initiator to implement a feature Microsoft coined as Portal
Hopping.  If the initiator can't open a SendTargets address it should
"hop" to the next address in the list and open that address.  This would
workaround the 0.0.0.0 address in a more useful fashion.

(I will add the SendTargets ordering of connect to my debug notes.)
