[Serusers] new release of admin guide available

[Greg Fausak]

Has this documentation always been available?

This is definately making a difference for me!

I am afraid this is all I needed to start
asking some real stupid questions...

I'll start with this, first, a few assertions:

'forward' is built in to the routing engine?
forward(host, port)
	As I understand it, forward simply sends the message to the
	hostname and port I specify, statelessly.
forward(uri:host, uri:port)
	This sends the message to the host and port as specified
	by the current uri, statelessly.

't_relay' is a module, not part of the main routing engine.
t_relay_to(host, port)
	Send the message to host and port 'statefully'.
t_relay()
	Send the message to the host and port as specified by
	the current uri, statefully.

OK, now a question. These two sets of operations seem very
similar on the surface.  I think I understand 'statelessly', the
message is simply fired off and all memory of the message is
gone.  I am trying to grasp 'stateful'.  What exactly is
different when using 't_relay()'?  I am having a hard time
coming to understand 'stateful' transactions.
