I have a rather large collection of static files that I serve up with
apache.  I would like to take one MD3000 to connect to four servers.
Mark one as read/write for updating and the other three as readonly.  I
realize with GFS any could write, but I would like it to be as simple as
possible.


What kind of fencing did you use?  Or is the MD3000 able to handle that
part?

To the engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.
