Should I change the docs for MM? We do writes to a single server to guarantee writes correct? If they are both the same, should we rename MirrorMode to a different key word? We don't use the server URI in the MM example, maybe that section should be totally re-written as it seems to be confusing users. Thoughts? -- Kind Regards, Gavin Henry. Managing Director.
