Just wondering ... Shouldn't the "Server-1" and "Server-2" be escaped too?

Yes of course but I only wanted to correct the example at this time and, as this is my first submission, I just wanted to get that right. I will start a project to format the man page more thoroughly in time.

Ahh, right. Well, I think we can fix at least the surrounding escape issues at the same time too. I do like small commits, but we can afford a bit bigger change sets on the man page on the surrounding issues. We seldom need to bisect man page issues ;-)
