Multi-server Queries
====================

   When using inline query expansion (Note: Inline Query Expansion),
EUDC can try to query successively a sequence of directory servers
until one of them successfully finds a match for the query.

 - Variable: eudc-inline-expansion-servers
     This variable controls which servers are tried and in which order
     when trying to perform an inline query.  Possible values are:
    `current-server'
          Only the current directory server is tried

    `hotlist'
          The servers in the hotlist are tried in order until one finds
          a match for the query or `eudc-max-servers-to-query' is
          reached

    `server-then-hotlist'
          The current server then the servers in the hotlist are tried
          in the order they appear in the hotlist until one of them
          finds a match or `eudc-max-servers-to-query' is reached.
          This is the default.

 - Variable: eudc-max-servers-to-query
     This variable indicates the maximum number of servers to query when
     performing a multi-server query.  The default, `nil', indicates
     that all available servers should be tried.
