 Description   

While adding new nodes to the  cross-region clusters, Private Endpoint  connection string  index changes. It can lead to the DNS not being able to find nodes  as soon as the connection string is changed. 

In order to avoid the possible confusion on the Atlas user side, it would be great to be more explicit in the docs about the SRV record name using index 0 in the cross-region case. As mentioned below:

Old: mongodb+srv://abc-pl-1.xxxxx.mongodb.net/
New: mongodb+srv://abc-pl-0.xxxxx.mongodb.net/

It changes the numbering of the nodes.

For example under: choose a connection method and regionalized private endpoints for multi-region sharded clusters.

Hi nika.vestfal-karidi@mongodb.com can you provide us with additional guidance on what we need to update in the docs? I reviewed the docs and the linked support cases and it's still not clear. It looks like the examples we have use an index of `0` already.
