29If the argument has a prefix of C<nodename.>
30(i.e. C<laptop.enable-dns=yes>) then it will be parsed after all the
31config directives for that node, if not, it is parsed befroe the first
32node directive in the config file, and can be used to set global options
33or default variables.

35For example, to start C<gvpe> in the foreground, with log-level C<info> on
36the node C<laptop>, with TCP enabled and HTTP-Proxy host and Port set, use
