either.

usually), the graph will be empty (NAN) for a long time. People may not

+=item B<hashed>
+
+Calculates a hash value of the host name and matches values according to that
+hash value. This makes it possible to divide all hosts into groups and match
+only values that are in a specific group. The intended use is in load
+balancing, where you want to handle only part of all data and leave the rest
+for other servers.
+
+The hashing function used tries to distribute the hosts evenly. First, it
+calculates a 32E<nbsp>bit hash value using the characters of the hostname:
+
+ hash_value = 0;
+ for (i = 0; host[i] != 0; i++)
+ hash_value = (hash_value * 251) + host[i];
+
+The constant 251 is a prime number which is supposed to make this hash value
+more random. The code then checks the group for this host according to the
+I<Total> and I<Match> arguments:
+
+ if ((hash_value % Total) == Match)
+ matches;
+ else
+ does not match;
+
+Please note that when you set I<Total> to two (i.E<nbsp>e. you have only two
+groups), then the least significant bit of the hash value will be the XOR of
+all least significant bits in the host name. One consequence is that when you
+have two hosts, "server0.example.com" and "server1.example.com", where the host
+name differs in one digit only and the digits differ by one, those hosts will
+never end up in the same group.

+=item B<Match> I<Match> I<Total>
+
+Divide the data into I<Total> groups and match all hosts in group I<Match> as
+described above. The groups are numbered from zero, i.E<nbsp>e. I<Match> must
+be smaller than I<Total>. I<Total> must be at least one, although only values
+greater than one really do make any sense.
+
+You can repeat this option to match multiple groups, for example:
+
+ Match 3 7
+ Match 5 7
+
+The above config will divide the data into seven groups and match groups three
+and five. One use would be to keep every value on two hosts so that if one
+fails the missing data can later be reconstructed from the second host.

+ # group three.
