NFS HA with ganesha should be easier than kernel NFS

Skipping the whole fuse stack should be good also for big files
with nfs replication is made directly by gluster servers with no client
involved?
In this case would be possibile to split the gluster networks with 10gb
used for replication and multiple 1gb bonded for clients.
I can see only advantage for nfs over native gluster

One question: with no gluster client that always know on which node a
single file is located, who is telling nfs where to find the required file?
Is nfs totally distributed with no "gateway"/"proxy" or any centralized
server?
