The speed problem could be fixed with them, but it's not a replacement for what 
glusterfs is doing. I'm in the same boat: users upload images to a 
synchronously replicated gluster content area available to multiple web 
servers. Caching on individual servers is likely to run into coherency 
problems. With no server stickiness, we need to be able to guarantee that an 
uploaded file is immediately available to all front-ends without introducing a 
SPOF.

While gluster might not be ideal for this, it is the *only* solution I've found 
that does it all. Do you have any better suggestions?
