CTDB 2.0: how to get rid of these messages?

[Ulrich Sibiller]

Hi,

we have a 6 node GPFS cluster running on RHEL5 and 6 (4 RHEL5, 2xRHEL6) using ctdb-2.0-1.x86_64 and 
sernet's samba3-3.6.13-45.el6.x86_64 packages. This running fine most of the time. However, I have 
lots of lines like the following in the syslogs of all nodes. Example from node 5:

Jun 14 15:01:24 gpfs02s05 ctdbd: Could not add client IP xx.yy.zz.236. This is not a public address.

This address is the private address of the node's bond0 interface.

I am suspecting that ctdb complains because the nodes and the private adresses are located in the 
same subnet (the online documentation states "This should be a private non-routable subnet which is 
only used for internal cluster traffic."). Is that correct? I cannot
change that because there's is no way to establish a private subnet here. Can I do something - 
except changing the source - to get rid of the message?

Uli
