Leafnode is supposed to figure which server carries which of its groups,
and it is supposed to only post to newsgroups that the upstream server
has. So, as long as you're not crossposting, everything should be easy
without regard to the ordering of the servers in the configuration file.

If anybody has evidence (log files) that shows that this does NOT work,
i. e. changing servers is required, then let me know.
