I think there's some trick not mentioned in ARM, like:
* The 1st level of brace can only be ONE element, address_match_list.
bind won't deal with more than one address_match_list;
* You can define more than 2 level of braces, but only configurations
within 2 level actived, others are ignored;
* Misswrite of sortlist config can not be detected, it just failed;
So you can write anything you like with following format:
sortlist {
{ acl-client;
{ acl-client; acl-local-city; acl-local-province; acl-local-contry;
...other-acls;
}; };
configurations out of this frame won't work. Am I right?
