What is better? Is making a client part of the cluster and then

# mount -t glusterfs somehost:/volume /mnt/temp
I guess with mounting it via somehost, one would have to very picky to
choose which host to pick as if it goes down that mount may stop
working. Am I correct? So what is better?
Another option is to use round-robin dns to make a single hostname point
to all your gluster servers:

This gives you a single hostname to mount through, while still working
fine when some of your servers are down for maintenance.
