We use 'feeder' instead of GUP, but this doesn't make any difference. For UUCP, our combination is alright, but for the nntpusers, it is quite inflexible. There are some users who wanted to read various alt.*- newsgroups for example, but we don't want to get them feeded all the time. NNTPCache would be the finest solution for these Users.
