The replication framework will look at the target type, ensure that the
target type is supported by the command being executed, executes the
command on DAS. If execution on DAS succeeds AND the command's @Cluster
has RuntimeType.INSTANCE AND the target type indicates to the framework
that the command should replicated on instances (typically target types
which are config type, stand alone server type, cluster type), then the
command is replicated. If the target type is stand alone server, the
replication happens only on that instance. If it is cluster it happens
on all instances that are part of that cluster.

server = the string 'server' without the quotes = DAS
domain = the string 'domain' without the quotes = target is only the domain
To my knowledge, not many commands support domain target type. A vast
majority of the commands support config, 'server', cluster and stand
alone server as target types. More info on this will be added to the
target type section
