+# allowmask - When this is defined, it indicates a range of IP #
+# addresses to allow for this link (You may use CIDR #
+# or wildcard form for this address). #
+# e.g. if your server is going to connect to you from #
+# the range 1.2.3.1 through 1.2.3.255, put 1.2.3.0/24 #
+# into this value. If it is not defined, then only #
+# the ipaddr field of the server shall be allowed. #
+# #
+# failover - If you define this option, it must be the name of a #
+# different link tag in your configuration. This #
+# option causes the ircd to attempt a connection to #
+# the failover link in the event that the connection #
+# to this server fails. For example, you could define #
+# two hub uplinks to a leaf server, and set an #
+# american server to autoconnect, with a european #
+# hub as its failover. In this situation, your ircd #
+# will only try the link to the european hub if the #
+# american hub is unreachable. NOTE that for the #
+# intents and purposes of this option, an unreachable #
+# server is one which DOES NOT ANSWER THE CONNECTION. #
+# If the server answers the connection with accept(), #
+# EVEN IF THE CREDENTIALS ARE INVALID, the failover #
+# link will not be tried! Failover settings will also #
+# apply to autoconnected servers as well as manually #
+# connected ones. #
+# #
+# timeout - If this is defined, then outbound connections will #
+# time out if they are not connected within this many #
+# seconds. If this is not defined, the default of ten #
+# seconds is used. #
+# #
+# bind - If you specify this value, then when creating an #
+# outbound connection to the given server, the IP you #
+# place here will be bound to. This is for multi- #
+# homed servers which may have multiple IP addresses. #
+# If you do not define this value, the first IP that #
+# is not empty or localhost from your <bind> tags #
+# will be bound to. This is usually acceptable, #
+# however if your server has multiple network cards #
+# then you may have to manually specify the bind #
+# value instead of leaving it to automatic binding. #
+# You can usually tell if you need to set this by #
+# looking for the error 'Could not assign requested #
+# address' in your log when connecting to servers. #
