My home testing environment I also use XenServer (again, Citrix - with a Centos minimalistic core OS) - even though the Dom0 is 64bit, in any Xen setup (maybe even for other virtuali[s\z]ation solutions), performance is better using 32bit VM's (DomU). My production environment comprises of Xen virtual machines (not XenServer, but still Xen), scattered around a remote datacenter. I too will be sharing my experiences as GlusterFS offers exactly what I need and would like to deploy.
