Hi John,

That still does not sound clear to me. The no_verify in the router,
according to my understanding, directs that this router, if used,
should not be used in any address verification. The no_more, afaicu,
means that no more routers should be tried for +sqlserve_domains if
this particular one fails.

I just need to know why there is "verification" still happening..

        cheers
