Update configure-distributed-availability-groups.md
Clarified the terminology around endpoints. The term 'listener' was being used in reference to an endpoint, but there was the possibility that the use of this term could cause confusion as the term 'listener' is more commonly associated with the Availability Group listener.

Make sure the endpoints can communicate between the different availability groups in the distributed availability group. If one availability group is set to a specific network on the endpoint, the distributed availability group doesn't work properly. On each server that hosts a replica in the distributed availability group, set the listener to listen on all IP addresses (`LISTENER_IP = ALL`).

Create an availability group on the first Windows Server Failover Cluster (WSFC). In this example, the availability group is named `ag1` for the database `db1`. The primary replica of the primary availability group is known as the **global primary** in a distributed availability group. Server1 is the global primary in this example.
