Any advice/suggestion? > I can't comment on the DRBD related portions, but can't you add both interfaces on each machine to a single bridge, and then configure the IP address on the bridge. Hence each machine will only have one IP address, and the other machines will use their dedicated network to connect to it. I would assume the overhead of the bridge inside the kernel would be minimal, but possibly not, so it might be a good idea to test it out. Regards, Adam
