Description
**Description:**
Synapse has the option to whitelist servers for federation that restricts federation to only whitelisted domains:
```
federation_domain_whitelist:
- lon.example.com
- nyc.example.com
- syd.example.com
```
I did not find a similar option in Dendrite. Could you add it? This would allow me to limit federation only to trustworthy servers.
Contributor guide
Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating Dendrite's federation configuration and the code that decides whether remote servers may federate, then compare the existing configuration patterns with Synapse's federation_domain_whitelist example. Done means a configurable whitelist restricts federation to the listed domains and the behavior is covered by tests.
