The ordering of relay affiliation groups is important for the client. The asterisk (*) has a special meaning in a relay affiliation list; it represents the set of unaffiliated computers. Unaffiliated computers are clients or relays that do not have any relay affiliation group assignments or have the asterisk group listing.
Note: The labels, defined in the client setting
