+Feature: Distributed Locking
+****************************
+
+Summary
+^^^^^^^
+
+The Distributed Locking Feature provides locking of resources across a pool of PDP-D hosts.  The list of locks is maintained in a database, where each record includes a resource identifier, an owner identifier, and an expiration time.  Typically, a drools application will unlock the resource when it's operation completes.  However, if it fails to do so, then the resource will be automatically released when the lock expires, thus preventing a resource from becoming permanently locked.
+
+Usage
+^^^^^
+
+    .. code-block:: bash
+       :caption: Enable Feature Distributed Locking 
+
+        policy stop
+
+        features enable distributed-locking
+
+    The configuration is located at:
+
+    * $POLICY_HOME/config/feature-distributed-locking.properties
+
+
+    .. code-block:: bash
+       :caption: Start the PDP-D using pooling
+
