Setting up an iscsi target that connects through Nat Routing

Hi, we recently purchased a synology device for Symantec Backup as an off-site drive. My plan was to use iscsi to appear as a local drive for Backup Exec to use.

The problem i am having is that the Offsite location is behind a NAT Router, What that means is that the device's ip is (IP A) while the ip to reach it is (IP B). So i can discover the synology Iscsi target through (IP B) but it tries to connect to it through (IP A).

Is there a way to have the initiator go to a assigned iscsi target ip rather than a discovered ip?

Is there a way to have the synology device report the external ip when it is discovered?

Is there some other way to make them connect?

I am using MS initiator on Windows Server 2003.

Any and all input is greatly appreciated.
 
translation is done at router level, so synology will allways report its own ip address. Only possible way I see, is to configure some kind of virtual server on your router if it allows you to do that
