I set up a distributed replicated volume on two nodes with 2 NIC each. The idea is to have gluster perform synchronization on one NIC and serve clients on the other. For simplicity say we have a client: test.client and the nodes, which have node1.client and node1.gluster and node2.client and node2.gluster, respectively. .client and .gluster are different class C networks assigned to dedicated NIC. There is no route from .client to .gluster. I peered the nodes using the .gluster network. When I now try to mount the volume from test.client: mount -f glusterfs node1.client:/test ~/mnt the mount fails. Looking at my firewall I see test.client:privileged attempting to contact node1.gluster:24007 and node2.gluster:24007. But I'd want to run the client traffic through node[12].client. Otherwise the second NIC appears to be worthless. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Thanks for your help, - lars.
