Gluster users - Jun 2015 - nfs-ganesha/samba vfs and replica redundancy

Can someone give me a hint on the best way to maintain data availability to
a share on a third system using nfs-ganesha and samba?

I currently have a round-robbin dns entry that nfs ganesha/samba uses,
however even with a short ttl, there's brief downtime when a replica node
fails. I can't see in the samba VFS or ganesha fsal syntax where a
secondary address can be provided.

I've tried comma seperated, space seperated, with/without quotes for
multiple IP's and only seen issues.

Any reason you aren't using a "floating IP address"?  This
isn't the newest
talk, but the concepts have not changed:
