+            <!-- Inter-server per-cluster secret for Distributed queries
+                 default: no secret (no authentication will be performed)
+
+                 If set, then Distributed queries will be validated on shards, so at least:
+                 - such cluster should exist on the shard,
+                 - such cluster should have the same secret.
+
+                 And also (and which is more important), the initial_user will
+                 be used as current user for the query.
+
+                 Right now the protocol is pretty simple and it only takes into account:
+                 - cluster name
+                 - query
+
+                 Also it will be nice if the following will be implemented:
+                 - source hostname (see interserver_http_host), but then it will depends from DNS,
+                   it can use IP address instead, but then the you need to get correct on the initiator node.
+                 - target hostname / ip address (same notes as for source hostname)
+                 - time-based security tokens
