+        <para>The <xref linkend="cb-sharing"/> explains the concept of shareable
+        and non-shareable configuration elements and the limitations for
+        sharing them between multiple servers. In the DHCP configuration (both DHCPv4
+        and DHCPv6) the shareable configuration elements are: subnets and shared
+        networks. Thus they can be explicitly associated with multiple server tags.
+        The global parameters, option definitions and global options are not shareable
+        and they can be associated with only one server tag. This rule does not apply
+        to the configuration elements associated with "all" servers. Any configuration
+        element associated with "all" servers (using "all" keyword as a server tag) is
+        used by all servers connecting to the configuration database.</para>
