Works like a charm. Hi Peter,

Yes, works fine with a couple of manipulations though:
- MySQL Master/Master instead of NDB cluster
- DRBD/OCFS2 instead of GlusterFS (which isn’t fully POSIX compliant)

And the firewalls are running FreeBSD/pf instead of pfsense.

Works like a charm.

I am thinking of this approach in a backup scenario, 2 ESXi server one as standby to replicate data..... cheers, Peter Hey Carsten,

I did quite a lot of configuration and testing here, but the idea of using MySQL NDB Cluster and GlusterFS over that long distance (one server in the UK, one in the US) failed. It's too slow, unfortunately. So I would recommend not to try this approach for a Mini-CDN like thing. Actually I am considering to get a second server in the UK -- in the same data centre. Then it should work just fine. Stay tuned. ;-) Thanks, Michel.

Lacking a bit of time. Be patient if you want to see how that develops, please. This project has to wait for the time being. Lacking a bit of time.
