Gluster users - Oct 2013 - Peer list question

I am trying to get the list of peers in the pool using the --xml
output of the gluster peer status command. I would like to get the
list of the current host where the command is being run as well, if it
is part of the pool. Is there any way of doing this?

Since gluster peer status does not give me the current host, I tried
running the command using --remote-host on one of the peer nodes to
confirm that the current host is part of the pool.

The problem I am seeing is this. I am using hostnames to add peers
into the pool and the output of gluster peer status reflects this.
However, the output of the --remote-host peer status gives the name of
the current host in the form of an IP address. Why this discrepancy?

Was the current host the one you started the cluster from? (ie. you did 
peer probe to the other hosts from the current one?)

If that is the case, this is a known issue.  You just need to run peer 
probe from a different peer back to the one in question.  That will 
correct the peer listing.

As for having the current host in the peer list, a host does not peer 
itself, so the context would be incorrect to list it.

Though, if the current host was not a peer in the cluster, then it would 
not list any other peers.
