Hi Atin, That's quite interesting. Why does a system with multiple ips make that necessary? Would you be able to provide an explanation on what the probe is actually doing and what it is used for? Or alternatively point me to some documentation that lays this out? Gluster official docs don't seem to really explore this in any detail from what I could find.
