Round robin DNS is already set up :
[dfsA]# grep "remote-host" glusterfs-client.vol 
  option remote-host cluster.storage-net.gfs      # RRDNS

[dfsA]# host cluster.storage-net.gfs
cluster.storage-net.gfs has address 10.0.0.40
cluster.storage-net.gfs has address 10.0.0.41

The client configuration : http://pastebin.ca/967754

If my setup is wrong (re: "you don't need unify/namespace for your
setup"), then the example at the wiki is also wrong, since i followed
it exactly :
http://www.gluster.org/docs/index.php/GlusterFS_1.3_High_Availability_Storage_with_GlusterFS

How, then, should my configuration (and the wiki) be changed ?
