+    <para>As of Kea 1.6.0 release, the parts of the DHCP servers'
+    configurations can be sourced from a database. The server using
+    the database as a configuration repository combines the configuration
+    specified for this server in the file (as described in the
+    <xref linkend="json"/>) with the configuration fetched from the
+    database. In this case the server configuration file must also contain
+    appropriate credentials and the location of the database holding this
+    supplementary configuration.</para>
+
+    <para>This feature is called Configuration Backend (sometimes
+    also Config Backend or CB for breivity) and is described in detail
+    in the further sections of this document.
