I have seen other posts by list members where having different mfs mount 
instances for e.g. instead of a single mfsmount for /mfs  that contains 
/mfs/folder1  /mfs/folder2   have two mfsmount instances for 
/mfs/folder1 and /mfs/folder2

this of course depends on if your storage is organized into discretely 
mountable folders like this.

and i haven't bothered to try this either.


Another idea, if you want to reduce network latencies, to  use 10GB 
ethernet ?  I am not convinced bonding 2xGB network links would improve 
things enough to justify the complicated configuration.
