It is not. Most of the time it is used in client configs (do not
confuse with regular "push <something>", which *is* a server option).
It can be used on the server, making the server send *its* versions
to the client - which is rarely useful.

The MAC address of the network card used to reach the default gateway.
(I think we have a patch somewhere to clarify that - it might even be
in the current man page. You looked at the 2.4 man page, which is OLD)
