It works fine on an almost exact same config on my linux box. >Here is the list of servers I'm trying to set up for (as listed in >servers-file): The only thing I can think of that is differnt is that we only have three feeds and that yours are listed in differnt orders. You could try making sure that the order that the news hosts and the groups to retrieve from those hosts are listed in the same order. >If db.com is not commented out, the following shows up in the log: >Apr 28 21:45:17 xxx nntpcached-update[4362]: sockets.c:347:Connection refused: could not connect to news.db.com. as DEFAULT I do this with nntpcache (from the exact same site) and it works fine.

None. Not even those from intel and >microsoft (sorry for my client's poor taste :) . I have had problems adding and removed news hosts without deleting the cache. Try setting it up the way you want, deleteing the cache and then restarting it. >It is my understading, that the developers _want_ this to work, otherwise, >I'll just set-up innd (or a similar thing).

The proxy machine runs FreeBSD-2.2.1 if it matters. I belive that it's developed on FreeBSD so you shouldn't have problems there. Adam.
