MS Source Server: significance of srcsrv.ini variable

The MS source server technology uses an initialization file named srcsrv.ini. One of the values identifies the source server location(s), e.g., MYSERVER=\\machine\foobar The docs leave much unanswered about this value.

I've played around with checkboxes to no end; I've re-deleted the Symbol cache folder a dozen times; and I've tried all kinds of debug symbol servers.
