HI,

I would bet in infiniband.

Why:
- It's widely used and tested.
- In linux you have IP over Infiniband module, that it's working for so 
many people in so many scenarios.

I bet it will work very good with drbd, even knowing this, everything 
should be tested before going to production.

Sorry, i have no experience (yet) with infiniband. But i would love too.

Good luck.
