However, every couple days I go cleanup the nntpcache processes and I usually end up terminating around 20, so that is a pretty significant dead server count. It is especially bad if those connections are holding open NNTP sessions to outside servers, because I'm being charged based on my maximum concurrent NNTP session count :-) [note: I haven't actually checked to see if this is the case].
