This sounds like a bad idea. use gluster for storing data, not for
storing configuration. You are using a cluster storage where you
should just use configuration management. Don't confuse the two
concepts. One is totally not like the other, and you cannot replace
one with the other.

This will create tons of cyclic deps.

This all sounds like a terrible idea, you are actively working on
making things hard for you.
