+Content routing mode. Can be overridden with daemon `--routing` flag.
 
-Valid modes are:
-  - `dht` (default)
-  - `dhtclient`
-  - `none`
+There are two core routing options: "none" and "dht" (default).
+
+* If set to "none", your node will use _no_ routing system. You'll have to
+  explicitly connect to peers that have the content you're looking for.
+* If set to "dht" (or "dhtclient"/"dhtserver"), your node will use the IPFS DHT.
+
+When the DHT is enabled, it can operate in two modes: client and server.
+
+* In server mode, your node will query other peers for DHT records, and will
+  respond to requests from other peers (both requests to store records and
+  requests to retrieve records).
+* In client mode, your node will query the DHT as a client but will not respond
+  to requests from other peers. This mode is less resource intensive than server
+  mode.
+
+When `Routing.Type` is set to `dht`, your node will start as a DHT client, and
+switch to a DHT server when and if it determines that it's reachable from the
+public internet (e.g., it's not behind a firewall).
+
+To force a specific DHT mode, client or server, set `Routing.Type` to
+`dhtclient` or `dhtserver` respectively. Please do not set this to `dhtserver`
+unless you're sure your node is reachable from the public network.
