First, thank you for your reply.

Sorry, I should have mentioned...  I want them to be part of the same
(distributed) volume.

So specifically...

Run one glusterd on server1.  Have "server1-eth1" and "server1-eth2"
refer to the two interfaces.  Use "gluster peer probe server1-eth1"
AND "gluster peer probe server1-eth2" (?)

My concern is that this will be attempting to add the same server to
the trusted pool twice, which seems like a strange thing to do.

Or did you just mean to add the server once, but then use the
multi-home addresses when I create the volume?  As in:

  gluster volume create my-vol transport tcp server1-eth1:/data1
server1-eth2:/data2

?

I guess I can just try any or all of these, but it would be nice to
know what the gluster developers would actually expect to work...
Since upgrades do happen.
