   <para>
    This filter multiplexes packages.

+  <para>
+   The multi filter consists of zero or more
+   <literal>&lt;target&gt;</literal> elements.
+   If a target matches a given target specified as CDATA in the
+   target element, the multi filter will route traffic to the route
+   given by the route attribute.
+  </para>
+  <para>
+   A target element is not required for multi-plexing to work.
+   It merely serves as a way to route differently.
