Well the idea is to build a dual server cluster in a box using hardware meant more for Windows storage server 2012. This way we do not need to replicate data across the nodes since the 2 servers see the same block storage and you have active failover on all the hardware. Dataon has a system for this and they even suggest using gluster however, I cannot seem to figure out how to implement this model. All gluster nodes would need to be active and there doesn't seem to be a master - slave failover model. Thoughts?

Trying to see if this is a viable solution considering it significantly reduces the cost for duplicated storage. Also reduces the need to Active-Active storage.
Trying in my head to picture how this would work with GlusterFS
architecture, but I'm not seeing it.
How are you thinking of putting things together? :)
