I thought in the gluster view there are no DCs, only clusters?
(actually, i wonder if we shouldn't consider the same for the virt use 
case, and deprecate the DC entity, though that would be a major effort 
and not sure worth it).

to your question, yes. there is a similar use case for virt - flagging a 
DC or Cluster and Storage as remote for a DR use case.
though i don't think anyone spent cycles on modeling that
