No, no bonding.  I mean one server with two IP addresses.  So
"server1-eth1" might be 192.168.0.37 and "server1-eth2" might be
192.168.1.37, but they both connect to the same server (just on
different interfaces).

If both IPs refer to the same server, they will connect to the same
glusterd process, unless I find a way to launch two such processes and
bind each to a separate address...
