Since it looks like the GlusterFS client supports supports adding backup --volfile-server options please support this in mount.glusterfs if not already done so.  The result will remove this as a point of failure in high availability setups when multiple servers can be used to hand out the identical volfile. 

Diff below is against GlusterFS 2.0.6rc2.
