Gluster Heal Not able to fetch volfile from glusterd

I recently setup a two node replica Gluster cluster on CentOS 6.6 with Gluster version 3.6.2-1. I setup a private network specifically for Gluster replication and communication and binded the Gluster daemons to this network.

After setting up a two node replica Gluster cluster to use as a web content backend, I began testing what would happen when I brought down one of the Gluster nodes. The web nodes access the Gluster cluster using the GlusterFS native client, and I expected them to quickly see that one of the Gluster nodes was down and begin serving content from the healthy Gluster node, but that was not happening. My test simply involved rebooting one of the Gluster nodes. That node would come back online within about 30 seconds, but within those 30 seconds my website was down.
