Note: "permalinks" may not be as permanent as we would like,
direct links of old sources may well be a few messages off.


Direct back-to-back means a dedicated pair of NICs and a single cable 
between them - this  optimizes latency which DRBD is sensitive to.
DRBD is known to work on lesser configurations too, with varying 
performance impacts.
The IP network should not matter as far as I know.
