+# 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. #
