Update GSLB to Auto Reconnect Publisher When Latency Increases Beyond a Certain Threshold

NPA Publishers now features an automated Resolution Loop that periodically re-evaluates network latency to ensure a continuous connection to the optimal Stitcher. If network conditions change and a higher-performing PoP is detected, the Publisher will gracefully and automatically shift connections to maintain peak performance.
