Additionally: is there a specific recommendation to run all mongos in the same timezone, regardless of geography?

Comment by Ed Costello [ 15/Aug/12 ]

Does mongos inherit the timezone from the startup environment (eg: the TZ environment variable)? Is it configurable anywhere else?

Updated a bit but can use some cleanup. Made Limitation section: http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Sharding+Administration#ShardingAdministration-Balancerwindow

Also, note that each mongos evaluates this so if they have different timezones this can be problematic. Imagine mongos servers in US/ASIA running with a local timezone, not in UTC – gets bad...
