--------------------------------

Provide a unit test which sets up 2 sites with 4 members each and send fom one member in site A to members in site B. The payload is a seqno: verify that all seqnos are received in monotonically increasing order.

> If members in one site send messages to site masters of other sites, if we have multiple site masters, then reordering can occur.
> Example:
> * Member C in site LON sends messages C1 and C2 to site NYC
> * C1 picks SM1 and C2 picks SM2
> * Although site masters process messages in delivery order, because C1 and C2 travel through different site masters, C2 could pass C1, leading to ordering issues
> h4. Design
> * When sending a message to the one of the site masters of the current site, or from a site master to a remote site master, we invoke a callback to pick the site master based on the original caller
> * Note that this only applies when we have more than one site master.
> * The callback passes the address of the original caller and the list of available site masters, and needs to return a site master
> h5. Transactions
> * Transactions by different originators with overlapping key sets cannot be reliably ordered
> * Transactional support therefore requires single site masters
> * This should not be an issue as transactions bundle multiple updates, so the number of messages sent is less than non-transactional updates
