 It is recommended to specify only a single url in `vault.nodes.urls` which always points to the current leader (e.g. to 
 `http(s)://vault-active.<vault-namespace>.svc.cluster.local:<vault-server service-port>` when using the vault-helm chart) and to disable the automatic leader detection by not specifying `nodes.autoDetectLeader` or setting it to `false`.
