The beuaty about Gluster is you can try any configuration you like and 
see if it suites your purpose. Give it a go and see how it reacts. I 
cant see any issues with doing this, but an actual developer would be 
better at saying definitivly yes or no. Give it a go and let us know 
your experiences.

> BrickS1-1
> BrickS1-2
> Unify US1
>   subvolumes S1-1,S1-2
> BrickS2-1
> BrickS2-2
> Unify US2
>   subvolumes S2-1,S2-2
> AFR
>  subvolumes US1, US2
>  replicate *:2


Thats how I would do it. But give it a go and see if it works for yourself.

The fantastic thing about the modularity and flexability of the xlators 
is that it can be used in combinations that even the developers didn't 
imagine.
