The

and Nokia's

bringing peers up and down automatically. It's designed to be useful on

This means that the peer

-The peer definitions can be in any order. They are checked
-most-specific first, and searching stops as soon as a match is found.
-Therefore a default definition can be added as
-.IP
-.I tag
-.B =
-.B 0/0
-.PP
-without fear of overriding any more specific definitions. For avoidance
-of doubt, one peer definition is
-.I more specific
-than another if either the former has a specified
-.I remote-addr
-and the latter has not, or the former is wholly contained within the
-latter. (Overlapping definitions are not recommended, and will be
-processed in an arbitrary order.)
+The peer definitions in each group are checked in the order given, and
