Class blocks define classes of connections for later use. The class name
is used to connect them to other blocks in the config file (auth{} and
connect{}). They must be defined before they are used.
Classes are used both for client and server connections, but most
variables are different.

it often hides error messages.

The cluster block specifies servers we propagate things to
automatically. This does not allow them to set bans, you need a separate
shared{} block for that.
Having overlapping cluster{} items will cause the command to be executed
twice on the target servers. This is particularly undesirable for ban
removals.

IPv4 as well as IPv6 DNS servers are supported, but it is not possible
to use both IPv4 and IPv6 in ``/etc/resolv.conf``.
