I'm guessing you had 'failover peer "foo";' configured inside something
that was not a pool {} clause (eg a subnet {} or host {} or the root
scope or something).

Maybe too many }'s on the line above or something of that nature.

I think 'failover peer "foo";' was intended to be allowed inside a
shared-network declaration (to apply to all subnets and pools),
but that's not the general practice of config (in fact, this may
more likely be an artefact of early development that never got
removed).
