Am I correct? So what is better? Another option is to use round-robin dns to make a single hostname point to all your gluster servers: http://edwyseguru.wordpress.com/2012/01/09/using-rrdns-to-allow-mount-failover-with-glusterfs/. This gives you a single hostname to mount through, while still working fine when some of your servers are down for maintenance.
