+The way that the load balancing works is any outbound federation request will be assigned 
+to a federation sender worker based on the hash of the destination server name. This
+means that all requests being sent to the same destination will be processed by the same
+worker instance. Multiple `federation_sender_instances` are useful if there is a federation

 This configuration setting must be shared between all workers handling federation
 sending, and if changed all federation sender workers must be stopped at the same time
