Unfortunately the Directory of Servers is not in the current version
if this document if I remember correctly. (It will be included in
the next version.) What the document describes is how a client may
interact with a mesh of servers, and how a client can traverse the
complete "tree" of servers wvwn though the first query is to a
leaf-server (i.e. the closest one).
