Have you tried looking in the index of TFM? It doesn't have "failover",
which isn't a word I know, but if you were looking for it in the index,
you would find, at the start of the "f" section
fail_verify
fail_verify_recipient
fail_verify_sender
failing delivery, forcing
failure of exec
fallback_hosts <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
file
Is "failover" a word people use? I think I have also seen "fallover",
which is again not a word I would use with this meaning. Are these in
American usage? I can easily add a cross-reference in the index, though
it won't point very far away...
In English English "fallover" tends to mean "cease to function", as in
"The !@#$%! server fell over again last night."
