I've done this a few years ago but there were serious overhead problems
with gigE (even with jumbo frames).
This is a good way of merging a traditional SAN with gluster but there's
little advantage if you are using commodity equipment. It's better to
just have the machine exporing the iscsi lun to just act as a second
gluster server.
There has been talk about a delayed-write mirror before for offsite and
slower mirroring maybe a dev can tell us how far out that is.
Currently every write would have to occur before the client could continue.

I'm just wondering how gluster and iscsi might work together. I suspect that in
many situations they could be used interchangeably, but how about them working
together? If a setup providing a gluster AFR service was on top of remote iSCSI
targets, would protocol overhead become a serious problem?
