[ale] Multiple NFS servers for the same mount point?

[jim.kinney at gmail.com (Jim Kinney)]

I've seen it done with DRBD and a dns failover. Two servers in back channel
live sync with DRBD. Slave setup would fence and take over if master fell
down and fall back once master resynced and returned. Did need to use soft
mount and not hard.
