What is the latency between network 1 and network 2? Volume type replica provides synchronous replication and latency has a significant impact on the overall performance of writes/updates with synchronous replication. geo-replication provides asynchronous replication and is currently unidirectional (master - slave). If you can use asynchronous replication, you can define two master volumes, one in network 1 and other in network 2. You would also need to define two corresponding slave volumes in network 1 and network 2. With this setup, your clients would be writing to the local network and there should be a general performance improvement. Are you making use of the samba vfs plugin to access gluster volumes?
