What is the latency between network 1 and network 2? Volume type replica 
provides synchronous replication and latency has a significant impact on 
the overall performance of writes/updates with synchronous replication.

geo-replication provides asynchronous replication and is currently 
unidirectional (master - slave). If you can use asynchronous 
replication, you can define two master volumes, one in network 1 and 
other in network 2. You would also need to define two corresponding 
slave volumes in network 1 and network 2. With this setup, your clients 
would be writing to the local network and there should be a general 
performance improvement.

Are you making use of the samba vfs plugin to access gluster volumes?

Vijay
