Leafnode assigns a unique message-ID to each outgoing article, so
posting to multiple upstream servers cannot lead to duplicates. (If
one of your upstreams rewrites the message-ID, you'd be better not
using it at all.)

If you execute "fetchnews -Pl" first, most of your messages will be
posted only to the "primary" upstream server. A bullet-proof solution
does not exist.
