We had some success in very big environments with offloading checks to satellites that were created only for the reason to run plugins which are more resource hungry than others.
Lately a customer asked me why we didn't mention this option within the documentation in the first place. So I wanted to add it but realized that there's explanation how to create multi-level setups but no information why you would want that.
This PR hopes to give some useful hints when to use satellites without oveloading the documentation.
