More to the point the first link doesn't 100% cover HA.  The roadmap for 
1.4 adds in the cient side the HA module that will complete this 
configuration.

In that wiki link we built an HA Server Cluster where all replication, 
self-heal etc happens on the servers not the clients.  With this the 
client still needs mount point redundancy.  Once the HA translator is 
complete this config will actually become useful.
