Yes, that should work just fine.
The NFS server acts as a Gluster client. So, on one side the NFS-server
speaks the standard NFS protocol to the clients, on the other side it
talks to the bricks in the volume. The logic of the distribution and
splitting of data is done inside the NFS-server (by libgfapi in
FSAL_GLUSTER for NFS-Ganesha).
