[Gluster-users] building 1.4.0rc6

I got it all figured out.
I think it'll work well for a web repository, but it wouldn't work 
for a shared hosting environment.

I was hoping for something which would recognize the documentroot as 
being a gluster mountpoint and therefor serve files directly from 
gluster instead of through the filesystem interface.

I'm not sure if this is even possible, but if it is, then that would 
be very ideal and, presumably, would work for shared hosting,

but, it is easily installed and configured if one does take 3 seconds 
to read, which I clearly didn't :P
