	// rebalancing is applied after this jitter to ensure the CPU impact
	// is always finite.  See newRebalanceConnsPerSecPerServer's comment
	// for additional commentary.
	//
	// For example, in a 10K consul cluster with 5x servers, this default

	// per second (each connection is reused for 120s to 180s).

	// for connection rebalancing.  This limit caps the load caused by

	// partition.  This parameter begins to take effect when there are
	// more than ~48K clients querying 5x servers or at lower server
	// values when there is a partition.
	//
	// For example, in a 100K consul cluster with 5x servers, it will
	// take ~5min for all servers to rebalance their connections.  If
	// 99,995 agents are in the minority talking to only one server, it
