Improve geo_node_allowed_ips settings documentation

Problem to solve

Based on questions from this ticket (internal only)

There are many available settings for Geo and only a few of them are covered in this document. The settings API doc offers a more complete version which offers a description for the settings, but it lacks in clarity.

A clear example of this is the geo_node_allowed_ips setting. It is not clear what the scope of this setting is; Whether it limits only DB replication, API access or what the overlap with postgresql_trust_auth_cidr_addresses and postgresql_md5_auth_cidr_addresses settings is

  • Behavior

Further details

Proposal

Expand documentation on this setting including a concrete definition and a couple of example use cases.
