I need some clarification on the activities you suggested me to 
develop.

  Here you are looking for 1 to n node replication? When we use 
drbdadm connect command, it uses this command internally

drbdsetup /dev/drbd0 net 10.1.40.33:1234 10.1.40.41:1234 C --set-defaults --create-device

  Do i need to modify drbdsetup command to support multiple nodes?
Please correct me if i am wrong.

  
  Also, provide some details on the following activity
