Thanks for the clarification, it's what I had figured but wanted to make
sure.
Have another question: is it possible to dynamically add AFR nodes
(preferably without bringing down the server processes)?
I added an entry for a non-existent server yesterday in the AFR
configuration and it appeared to hang the process when I would attempt
to access the client data. It may have been due to invalid network
configuration on the server I was working on. I would like to know
before I experiment much more (and waste time) if it's even possible.

Interacting with the « raw » data is a generally a no-no.
Interactions should be done via the client or else they will not be
reflected on any other members of the storage group.
correctly, or if doing this negatively affects the system. If so is
there a good way to help to avoid this type of direct access?
There's nothing stopping you from running both a client and a server
process on a given machine. It's the same binary - just a different
invocation.
