Here I may have not fully understand what Rune told me.
I've done a couple of test, and I 've found out different information in 
the documentation, but all seems to collide.

Given that we have two servers,
Can a client modify a volume, send the information to one server he can 
join, and have the server keeps the differents replicas of this volume 
up-to-date, whithout the client connecting to or warning the 2nd server?

Sorry, if I'm insistent but I not fully at ease with english.

Thanks.
Marc
