There is no "primary" or "secondary" servers when it comes to replicate.
Writes are done to all servers synchronously and reads are distributed
across all servers. Changing the order would not do anything.

However, you must always make sure that the order of subvolumes
is the same on all clients, as the first server is used for locking.
