However, the proxy is probably more expensive than buying a pair of GigE adapters and having a specialist install the cable. We've been running DRBD for a year over wimax (60Mb/s full duplex) without a proxy and it was slow and reacted very badly to the natural unreliability of the link. We ended running disconnected most of the time, and synchronizing in off-peak time but even that flawless. A few years ago the docs used to advice against using even a switch between the nodes... So get as good a network as you can for DRBD. Lionel Sausin.
