> Security documentation misses an important point when describing policy and how policy is effected by vhost settings: Access policy is applied at the point of ingress to a router network. Once access is granted to a resource then all resources with that name anywhere in the network are accessible.
> Access restrictions are specified in a policy vhost object. The vhost contains the restrictions that get applied to a connection when the connection is established. Reading the doc it sounds as if there are vhost objects that may contain addresses somewhere in the router. That conceptual model is the issue in the doc that needs to be fixed.
> Methods for Specifying Vhost Policy Source and Target Addresses is a good example. In the table the first item is titled _Allow all users in the user group to access all source or target addresses on the vhost_ . In reality the addresses are not _on the vhost but are in the router network_.
> Throughout the document the text "on a vhost" could be changed to "through a vhost" or "specified by a vhost", or could be removed entirely.
