+IPFS by default will use a DHT for content routing. There is a highly
+experimental alternative that operates the DHT in a 'client only' mode that can
+be enabled by running the daemon as:
+
+    ipfs daemon --routing=dhtclient
+
+This will later be transitioned into a config option once it gets out of the
+'experimental' stage.
