+ <para>
+ If no servers are specified, the back end automatically
+ uses service discovery to try to find a server. Optionally,
+ the user may choose to use both fixed server addresses
+ and service discovery by inserting a special keyword,
+ <quote>_srv_</quote>, in the list of servers. The order
+ of preference is maintained. This feature is useful if, for
+ example, the user prefers to use service discovery whenever
+ possible, and fall back to a specific server when no servers
+ can be discovered using DNS.
