 Description   

Description

The Glossary currently does not include a definition for "seed list", which would be helpful for context on usage with a replica set connection string.

General definition:

The seed list of host:port pairs provided in a connection string is used by drivers/clients for initial discovery of the current replica set configuration. Upon successful connection to a member of the seed list, clients will retrieve a canonical list of replica set members to connect to, which may be different from the original seed list. Per the standard Server Discovery and Monitoring (SDAM) specification, clients will use the hostnames listed in the replica set config, not the seed list.

I'm not sure if the SDAM link belongs in a glossary entry, but the rationale for this behaviour is not obvious to new users.
