    <title>SERVICE DISCOVERY</title>
    <para>
        The service discovery feature allows back ends to automatically
        find the appropriate servers to connect to using a special DNS
        query. This feature is not supported for backup servers.

        <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.
