From the wiki page i wrote today : http://www.gluster.org/docs/index.php/High-availability_storage_using_server-side_AFR "The client configuration is very simple and, in fact, identical on each client. It is in this configuration where the RRDNS hostname comes into play - the remote-host is, in this case, defined as cluster.storagenet.gfs. When the Gluster client process does a lookup on cluster, it will store both responses in its cache, then randomly choose one to actually use. If the server becomes inaccessible, the Gluster client will wait for the period of time defined by transport-timeout, then automatically attempt to use the other response in the cache. See this thread from the Gluster mailing list for more information." The thread noted above links here : http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/gluster-devel/2008-04/msg00007.html And, yes, it works. I have tested it thoroughly. :) I would heavily suggest reading through the list archives for the month of April for further details... -- Daniel Maher <dma AT witbe.net>
