| Description |

The DNS Seed List Documentation does not clearly indicate whether the DNS seedlist will work for mongos hosts. The documentation should clearly indicate that the DNS seedlist should work for both mongod and mongos hosts. Here is is some background research that might help clarify this further: The dns seed-list connection format is based on the mongodb+srv protocol. Here is some more information on this mongodb+srv protocol:
Now the ChangeLog for this specification indicates: _2017-10-04 — 1.1.1 Therefore, based on the above, it is safe to conclude that DNS seedlist should work for mongod as well as mongos hosts. And our docs on DNS Seed List should mention this clearly. |
