Basically my setup consists of two news-servers - the one that comes with my
ISP and my work news server (which I can access from home).

I have three computers in my home LAN - One firewall/newsserver and two
workstations.

I only want one of the workstations to be able to access the work news
groups - I do not want the other workstation to be able to get to them.

If I put both newsgroups in the config file, can I prevent the second
workstation from accessing all groups coming from my work news server?

Also, where there is duplication of groups (when one group exists on both
news servers ... my work news server carries a few relevant external feeds
too), can I configure leafnode to pick up specific groups from specific
servers? (i.e. If a specific group exists on both external servers I want it
to pick up from the work one not the ISP one)?

Hope this makes it clearer!

Cheers,

Ben
