SOCKS and Microsoft ISCSI initiator?

Hello.
I'm trying to get the MS ISCSI initiator to work through the SOCKS proxy.
I have version 8.0.0.1 installed, and it works fine and in the usual way for
all my applications.
However, the ISCSI initiator service is just not being picked up by SOCKS -
all calls go direct.
The initiator starts as a windows service. You then launch a program that
interacts with the service. I have tried making sure the service is started
manually vs automatically to ensure the SOCKS shim is loaded before it
starts. I have also tried specifically adding the ISCSI module to the
module list (C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\isciexe.exe).
The RFC for the ISCSI protocol (RFC 3721) does reference socks, including
this blurb:
"Use of the SOCKS server requires special modifications to the iSCSI
initiator. No modifications are required to the iSCSI target." So SOCKS
will, in theory, work. I assume using the Hummingbird driver solves the
'special modification' like it does for all the other apps I can use with
SOCKS.
Does anyone have experience or insight or suggestions as to how to get the
ISCI initiator to work with SOCKS?
Thanks
Pat
