[Linux-cluster] Wire encryption

Having read the (excellent) HOWTO at
https://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-3-Manual/cluster-suite/
but not even started testing GFS, I miss some information on how the
nodes communicate with each-other. What protocols and ports are used?

The reason I ask is that I wonder whether GFS, together with stunnel
or similar, could be used to create a SAN that's physically connected
through the internet, more or less along the ideas of sfs (www.fs.net).
Has anyone seen any documentation of such attempts? Is there any reason
why the idea could be flawed by definition?
