==== Summary of the master and slave settings ====

=== Settings in the master to write to clients ===

Milliseconds to wait while writing to network clients, and how many
more times to try if a timeout occurs:

<code>
set client_write_timeout_ms    5000
set client_write_timeout_retry 2
</code>

How long the server thread of each client waits for a client to reconnect
and how many times to wakeup and check before droping the client.

<code>
set client_reconnect_wait_sleep_secs  10
set client_reconnect_wait_sleep_retry 6
</code>

The parameter //client_queue_read_timeout_ms// specifies the timeout for
reading from these queues by the servers' threads that service the
individual network client connections.

<code>
set client_queue_read_timeout_ms  10000
</code>

If we send the radar files for one or two sites, then it is
better to use something like a 10 minute timeout while reading from
the queue; same thing for the infifo. So set that as the default

<code>
set client_queue_read_timeout_ms [expr 600 * 1000]
</code>

These //client_xxx// parameters, can be set on a per-host basis
by setting this variable

<code>
set clientoptions {
    ltp.uprrp.edu,2000,2,10,12,10000
    thunder.wxpro.net,10000
    indra.wxpro.net,10000,x,x,12
}
</code>

=== Settings in a slave ===

The reading timeout (in seconds), retry attempts and how long to wait
(in seconds) before trying to reconnect. 

<code>
set slave_read_timeout_secs    10
</code>

Timeout for reading from the master (fifo in the case of the level2)

<code>
set slave_read_timeout_secs     60
set slave_read_timeout_retry    2
set slave_reopen_timeout_secs   1
</code>

The tcp buffer size; -1 leaves the default.

<code>
set slave_so_rcvbuf -1
</code>

How often the slave threads report the stats (in seconds).

<code>
set slave_stats_logperiod_secs 60
</code>

The masterservers is a string of the form

<code>
<protocol>,<server>[,<port>][,<options>]|<protocol>,<server>[,<port>],...
</code?

where the separating character can be any combination of //| \t\n//;
for example

<code>
set masterservers {
    1,nbsp.uprrp.edu
    1,nbsp.noaaport.net,2210
    2,laurel.wxpro.net,2210,10
    2,hardy.wxpro.net,2210,10,,,,300
    2,joshua.wxpro.net,,10,,,,300
    2,scooby.wxpro.net,,10,x,x,x,300
}
