[Gluster-users] Adding peers over OpenVPN

This might be more of a VPN/IPTables thing, but I wanted to reach out to 
the community here first.

I'm trying to set up a 4 peer cluster of servers.

2 in Subnet1 and 2 more in subnet2.

peer probe within the subnets works fine. When I try to add a peer 
across the subnets (and my OpenVPN tunnel). I get wierd results.

Server1-Subnet1
root at admin1:~# gluster peer status
Number of Peers: 2

Hostname: admin2
Uuid: cddca7b2-4eb7-4cc3-82cd-838b040bdd13
State: Accepted peer request (Connected)

Hostname: 172.17.43.XXX
Uuid: 633e920f-d38e-46cb-999e-0548e78b7142
State: Accepted peer request (Connected)

Server2-Subnet1
root at admin2:~# gluster peer status
Number of Peers: 1

Hostname: 172.16.31.XXX
Uuid: 5aab206b-f631-498c-b263-8b141e54c311
State: Peer in Cluster (Connected)

Server3-Subnet2
root at admin2:~# gluster peer status
Number of Peers: 1

Hostname: 172.17.40.XXX
Uuid: 5aab206b-f631-498c-b263-8b141e54c311
State: Accepted peer request (Disconnected)


As you can see, Server2 in Subnet one doesn't even pick up the request 
of the probe and connect to the remote server as Server1 did.

Also - Server3 in the remote subnet is showing the correct UUID for 
Server1, but the Hostname is showing differently.


Has anyone here set up GLusterFS over a OpenVPN Tunnel? Are there any 
guides for this?
