+\fBallow-\-indirect\-glue\fP \fInameserver-superdomain ...\fP
+Specifies a list of domains under which we expect to find glueless
+nameservers, with up to one layer of indirection.
+For nameservers under these domains it is OK to to find glueless
+referrals, but only when listed as a nameserver for a zone which is
+not itself a subdomain of an \fBallow-indirect-glue\fR
+\fInameserver-superdomain\fR.
+
+This supports to common configuration style where DNS operator(s) set
+up all of their nameservers with names within a small subsection of
+the DNS (the portions under \fInameserver-superdomain\fRs), and
+provide glueless referrals naming these nameservers for all other
+zones. This provides at most one level of missing glue.
+
+Note that if the DNS administrators collectively able to influence the
+service for some zone (including the admins for its superzones, the
+zones containing its nameservers, and their superzones and so forth)
+are not in sufficiently close communication do not all agree on the
+proper set of \fInameserver-superdomain\fR then they might still set
+up circular glue and \fBchiark-named-conf\fR would not necessarily be
+able to detect this even if it was run on every relevant nameserver.
