[leafnode-list] Multiple NNTPHOST sources
I just finished getting Leafnode up and running under Mandrake 8.2.
Previously I used slrnpull, but I had heard that leafnode had the
capability to deal with multiple sources much more smoothly than
slrnpull could.
I haven't finished testing, but the issue that I have is that I don't
get different groups from different sources, rather I try to get the
same groups from all sources. The reason for this is because my
primary ISP is often missing posts, whereas I have access to another
system which is *quite* good at having all of the posts, but sometimes
isn't available. So what I want to do is have fetchmail get whatever
posts it can from whatever source it can.
I'm not sure whether leafnode can handle this.
It would certainly be fair enough if it didn't - it's asking a lot, I
know.
My very-preliminary testing seems to indicate that I'll get posts
repeated if it gets them from multiple hosts. I *could* be seeing
hiccups rather than true repeats...
Is anyone else running a system like this?
I am the only user of the system - just a half-dozen text newsgroups.
