Since accounting records matter for audit completeness rather than live user experience, an admin might reasonably choose 'priority' here, always favoring the designated primary accounting server for audit-trail consistency, even if they chose 'cached' for the authentication table to optimize login speed during an outage. The two settings serve genuinely different priorities and don't need to match. For example, deliberately setting this to 'priority' ensures accounting records always attempt the audit-of-record primary server first, even though the authentication table might use 'cached' purely for login speed.
