Hi! I've just installed the nntpcache and wish to have one combined nntpcache server which will collect newsgroups from some number of upstreams. I have 3 upstream links which I need to query in predefined order. They have duplicating newsgroups, i.e. server1 may carry groups a,b,c and server2 may carry groups a,c,e,f. I want to have the nntpcache to collect the groups in the following order: 1. try ALL groups from the server1 (a,b,c) 2. then try any groups NOT FOUND at server1 from the server2 (e,f) 3. then try any groups NOT FOUND at servers 1&2 from the server3 Sample config file shows how to create upstream server list in order of precedence. But that all is for random msgid. All samples show how to collect some newsgroups from predefined servers, i.g. microsoft.* from news.microsoft.com. I don't want to get microsoft.abc group from news.microsoft.com if THERE IS such group on my preferred server (first in the list). When I use something like %BeginGroups * server1 then only groups from the server1 are visible to clients. And when I try something like this: %BeginGroups * server1 * server2 * server3 then only groups from the server3 are visible. How to configure nntpcache to use all the servers in the specified order AND do not specify exact newsgroups to get from those ones? Thanks! OS
