I haven't tried this, but I'm testing gluster nfs w/ ctdb & a virtual IP
and that seems to be working so far...

Some reason my gluster nfs servers were notorious for crashing and
virtual IPs with keepalived kept interfering with the interfaces in
oVirt which made it a pain to modify networks within the UI.
I went a head and tried this anyway, and it appears to be holding up a
lot better than the gluster nfs server. So far so good!
