Hi
Thanks for replying.
I haven't found any manual....
Or any syntax explanations for the servers configuration file (only examples).
So I will ask you:
Now the cache consults ONLY the fast server.
This is bad because most of the articles on that server expires FAST.
Again, what I want is that when I ask nntpcache for an article in a alt.*
group
it will first chech in it's cache, if it's not there will check the fast
server and if it's
not there check the slow one.
I'm not even sure nntpcache is able to do this. But if it can, I would
appriciate
instructions how to do this.
Thank
Nimrod
