+/// @brief Config Backend selector.
+///
+/// Each Kea server using database as a configuration respository
+/// may use multiple configuration backends simultaneously. The most
+/// typical case is to use a single configuration backend per server,
+/// but there are use cases when configuration information is distributed
+/// accross multiple database instances. In the future, there may be
+/// also caching mechanisms implemented, which will allow for storing
+/// results of certain database queries in memory.
+///
+/// From the server perspective, the most common use of the configuration
+/// backend is to fetch entire configuration information from the
+/// databases (upon startup) or fetch the latest updates to the
+/// configuration, e.g. new subnet added, DHCP option modified etc.
+/// In those cases, it is not so important from the server which backend
+/// this data come from. Therefore, the server would fetch this information
+/// from all available backends.
+///
+/// When the server administrator wants to insert some new data into
+/// the database, modify existing data or simply wants to check the
+/// contents of one of the database instance, he would specify which
+/// database backend he wants to direct queries to.
+///
+/// The @c BackendSelector class provides means to specify whether
+/// the queries should be directed to any backend (see server case
+/// above) or to a specific backend (data insertion case above).
+/// In addition, the @c BackendSelector allows for using various
+/// criteria for selecting a backend to use. Currently those criteria
+/// are: database type (e.g. mysql), database host and database port.
+/// In order to use a specific port, the database host must also be
+/// specified. Note that in a general case multiple backends of the
+/// same type can be used simultaneously, e.g. multiple MySQL backends.
+/// In that case, it may be necessary to specify host (and port) to
+/// issue a query to the right one.
+///
+/// The @c BackendSelector class may be extended in the future to provide
+/// additional backend selection criteria.
