Most probably, yes. We will need to test out the actual scenario to confirm it.
This change makes sure we connect to NLM clients using the virtual IP, so if the
problems are only with NLM, and virtual IP's, it should work now.

Subject: Fwd: Change in glusterfs[master]: nlm: use virtual ip of server to connect to client
Question: does this change how Glusterfs can be utilized in a
virtualized context, including with VMware? My understanding was
that the virtual IP handling in VMware had previously presented
problems.
Do we have more details on this problem? This problem manifests only if
a virtual IP is used for mounting a NFS volume and a blocking fcntl lock
is invoked from an application on the mount.
The plan is to include this fix in both 3.3.2 and 3.4.0.
Thanks,
