Hmm, why? An nfs client will do just what you want in terms of assigning a single address for the connection. The Gluster client, by contrast, downloads the specification of the storage cluster on initially establishing the connection, and works from that. There may be a way to alter that to get the behavior you want. It would be a kludge though, where an nfs client just works that way. > And also that the servers themselves might need to use different > interfaces to communicate with one another. That can work with Gluster just fine. You can have the servers on a separate LAN just for communications with each other, or if a replicated pair just a crossover. That's not an officially supported configuration, but it works for me. > In which case, I take it the answer to my question is "no"? Few questions have binary answers, even in computing. Whit
