hi all... due to a variety of reasons i've moved from a standard inn setup to inn + nntpcache, but i'm stuck on how to solve a particular requirement. some background: we (rmit computer science) had a news server which provides two local hierarchies (call them `staff' and `rmit.cs.*'). `staff' is private to a couple of machines, `rmit.cs.*' is available within the department, and also gets exported to the rmit ITS news server (`upstream'). our news server generally had 2.5-3.0G of spool in use, but the groups we cared about only occupied <100MB of that. this struck me as an excess waste (99% of the resources consumed in non-local news), and nntpcache looked like the ideal solution. so, i'd like to be able to do something like this; * run a private newsserver on newshost:120, that just serves staff and rmit.cs.* * run nntpcache on newshost:119, talking to newshost:120 and upstream:119 * synchronise rmit.cs.* between newshost:120 and upstream:119 it's this last bit which i'm trying to work out the best way to do. i don't think inn 2.0 will allow me to have a feed (e.g, via innfeed), and in any case, if nntpcache can fudge it for me then that's preferable. any ideas/suggestions? luke. ps: sorry if this is incomprehensible; i've been banging my head against inn for a few days now, and anything i can do to avoid doing stuff with it (as opposed to say, in nntpcache :) is a Good Thing.
