Question: Does app-server handle HA instances lacking gateway?

[1000TurquoisePogs]

I see configuration behavior based upon "component.[componentname].enabled" in the app-server, which I interpret to mean that the app-server does certain things if the gateway/discovery is enabled IN THE SAME HA INSTANCE.

It should be possible to have 5 app-servers but only 2 gateways, but if the app-server is reading the enabled status of the gateway from the haInstances section, then I am concerned that the app-server would think there was no gateway at all simply because it was not looking at the overall configuration to spot if any gateway existed.

Can someone verify whether or not app-server correctly uses a gateway when the gateway is disabled in the app-server's haInstance, but is present in another haInstance?

Note: I assigned myself and Sergei because we both have tested HA in the past, so we may be able to prove/disprove this
