Are you certain the client has to be in the /etc/hosts on the storage nodes?  I 
question that
because my understanding and experience is that unless you are going to be 
issuing commands
(mminfo, nsradmin, ping, etc) from the storage node, that it doesn't care about 
anything beyond
connectivity to the client in question.   That is (to over simplify), the NW 
server is the
brain and the storage nodes are the mindless servants who open up the port 
requested and accept
the traffic that flows on it.
