The new "virtual server" functionality allows multiple old-style servers to be run from one process. In order for that to happen, each of the virtual servers need their own "listen" section, "authorize", etc. sections, and list of clients. However, it is often useful to share a list of clients between virtual servers. Rather than listing all of the clients each time, the list can be defined once, and referenced from multiple places.
