The best ("only") way to understand the failover protocol currently
is to read the failover draft.

In 3.0.x, it is present in the doc/ subdirectory.

In 3.1.x, a 'References' document in the doc/ subdirectory refers
to a URL at www.isc.org.

Reading failover's section in the References document may not be a
bad idea as it points out the few places and ways we currently
diverge.
