I know you can't use multiples NTFS machines/servers with the same SAN iSCSI target without corruption. I have multiple servers, however, that need access to the same data on the same SAN.
I do not have Microsoft Clustering Services nor can I use it (policy and money)
Windows 2008 Server is the OS.
Do not want to open the target on one machine, share it, and have the others pointed to that machine that has the iSCSI target, as it is not redundant.
I saw MetaSan. What would you recommend? Thanks.

You can't do it with NTFS as isn't a cluster aware file system. MetaSAN and StorNEXT are cluster file systems that can be used with Windows, StorNext was OEM'd by Apple as XSAN.
