-The 'dnspark' protocol is used by DNS service offered by www.dnspark.com.
-
-Configuration variables applicable to the 'dnspark' protocol are:
-  protocol=dnspark             ##
-  server=fqdn.of.service       ## defaults to www.dnspark.com
-  backupmx=no|yes              ## indicates that DNSPark should be the secondary MX
-                               ## for this domain or host.
-  mx=any.host.domain           ## a host MX'ing for this host or domain.
-  mxpri=priority               ## MX priority.
-  login=service-login          ## login name and password  registered with the service
-  password=service-password    ##
-  fully.qualified.host         ## the host registered with the service.
-
-Example ${program}.conf file entries:
-  ## single host update
-  protocol=dnspark,                                         \\

-  myhost.dnspark.com
-
-  ## multiple host update with wildcard'ing mx, and backupmx
-  protocol=dnspark,                                         \\
-  login=my-dnspark.com-login,                               \\
