447.Sp
448The special value \f(CW1\fR allows other hosts to route through the router
449host, but they will never route through it by default. The value \f(CW0\fR
450disables routing. The idea behind this is that some hosts can, if
451required, bump the \f(CW\*(C`router\-priority\*(C'\fR setting to higher than \f(CW1\fR in their
452local config to route through specific hosts. If \f(CW\*(C`router\-priority\*(C'\fR is
453\&\f(CW0\fR, then routing will be refused, so \f(CW1\fR serves as a \*(L"enable, but do
454not use by default\*(R" switch.
