[Dxspider-support] connecting to an AR Cluster node

[Bob Nielsen]

The script I showed earlier works for me with a connection to a AR  
Cluster node.

I see there is a set/arcluster command, but looking at the code it  
appears a bit strange, but apparently it needs node type "r".  It has  
been a long time since I set up that node and my memory might have  
failed me.  After you sort it out, I'll update the wiki.
