Web farm configuration question

I'm configuring web farm settings in Kentico 7 and there appears to be two ways to do it:

1) Through the appSettings in the web.config file (e.g. CMSWebFarmEnabled)
2) Through the Version and Synchronization settings in the Site Administrator.

Which one takes precedence? E.g. if CMSWebFarmEnabled is 'false' in the web.config but it is turned on in the Site Administrator, what happens?

Thanks!

With that being said, I don't see anything on the that states otherwise in the dev guide but I could be missing it: http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/devguide/index.html?web_config_parameters.htm

It would be nice if the UI simply read the values from the web.config. I like having them in there because I can do web.config transformations for each target environment.
