+If set to B<true>, the (dot separated) parts of the B<host> field of the
+I<value list> will be rewritten in reverse order. The rewrite happens I<before>
+special characters are replaced with the B<EscapeCharacter>.
+
+This option might be convenient if the metrics are presented with Graphite in a
+DNS like tree structure (probably without replacing dots in hostnames).

+ <Plugin "write_graphite">
