Answer 1

Today (I just configured StackExchange.Redis 2.1.58 to use sentinel) it's enough to specify a sentinel endpoint and serviceName in the redis connection string or Configuration. All the rest has been encapsulated as a part of this commit. So you just point stackexchange.redis to your sentinel nodes and ConnectionMuliplexer gives you up and running IDatabase each time you call GetDatabase().

var conn = ConnectionMultiplexer.Connect("sentinel:26379,serviceName=mymaster");
var db = conn.GetDatabase();
db.StringSet("key", "value");
