Assign a virtual IP to that service, and it move with the "hosting" node in the cluster.

There are a couple of hosts external to this cluster which I would like to have access to the GFS filesystem via NFS. I have exported the same mountpoint on each of the hosts that have the GFS mount. I can connect via NFS to one of these cluster hosts, but when it goes down, I have to unmount it, and then remount against another host. I suspect I could do something with a floating IP? but I was wondering if it would be possible to do this with client side logic so that the nfs mount automatically moves to a different working host if one stops responding? I tried creating multiple A records in the DNS for a single host, and connecting to that hostname, but that doesn't seem to work. It seems to pick one of the IPs and stick to it.
