multipathing is not iSCSI specific.
i.e. if you setup multiple connections which expose the same device then multipathd will automatically work.
If I understand your setup correctly then all you have to do is connect to all the targets and then use the device exposed.
You will see in the GUI that the device is reachable from multiple targets.
