If your /etc/hosts file is actually setting the ip of nodes in your
cluster to 127.0.0.1, lock_gulmd will not work.

yes.  3,4, and 5 servers run in a mini cluster to avoid a single point of
failure.  1 server runs as a single point of failure, but is useful for
testing.

I am sorry, but I don't quite understand this question.

You can setup two nodes, both as servers, (by putting three nodes in the
servers list and not using one of the entries.)  But if one node dies
the other will hang.  It can be done, with gulm it is not advisable.
