I have a 2 server test setup and i just did a ./configure in the
glusterfs-1.3.0-pre4 directory. Both run glusterfsd exporting
/home/export and both connect as clients to themselves and the other
and use the AFR translator using *:2

seems to work, but I dont know if this is a good practice or if i am
asking for trouble or what.

Also, does this list have a top or bottom post preference? Top is more
natural but some lists are picky.

=P
