You can do this using server-side replication. You can use the bonded interfaces for the connections between the servers. However, there are two problems with this kind of setup: 1) Since your clients will not have replication on their side and will only connect to one server, you will not have high availability. If the server that a client has connected to fails, the client will no longer have access to storage. You'll have to setup some other kind of failover to handle this. 2) Server-side replicate is not one of the officially supported configurations, and is not as well-tested as the others. Vikas
