There's no official support for it, but it is possible.  I describe some of the
relevant techniques here:

http://hekafs.org/index.php/2013/01/split-and-secure-networks-for-glusterfs/

Those instructions are probably not complete by themselves, but those plus a
bit of experimentation will probably get you going.  We do have a (vague) plan
to add better multiple-network at some point, but it's not clear when that will
actually happen.
