 - TLS passthrough prevents Traefik from inspecting HTTP paths, headers, or certificate contents.
 - Backend certificates and renewal jobs must be monitored on each backend.
-- The default configuration routes all SNI names to the same backend pool. Use more specific `HostSNI(...)` rules if different names need different pools.
+- SNI routing depends on clients sending the expected hostname during the TLS handshake. Clients that connect by IP address or omit SNI will not match hostname-specific routers.
