<refsect1 id='service_discovery'>
<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.
</para>
<refsect2 id='configuration'>
<title>Configuration</title>
<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.
