+ This is the value that will be placed in the WSGI environment as
+ ``SERVER_NAME``, the only time that this value is used in the WSGI
+ environment for a request is if the client sent a HTTP/1.0 request without
+ a ``Host`` header set, and no other proxy headers.
+
+ The default is value is ``waitress.invalid``, if your WSGI application is
+ creating URL's that include this as the hostname and you are using a
+ reverse proxy setup, you may want to validate that your reverse proxy is
+ sending the appropriate headers.
+
+ In most situations you will not need to set this value.
