I also heard about this INN feature. It would be nice to have such a
feature in leafnode, i.e. fetch articles from a remote newsserver and
keep the articles as on the server. This scenario seems to be quite
common. It would probably require that there's only a single server
(the "master") in the "slave's" leafnode setup.

I've been using such a setup for years: On the main machine, there's
the "master" leafnode spool. Via rsync, I synchronize the spool (and
leafnode config files) to the notebook ("slave" leafnode) when online.
On the slave, I never run fetchnews. This keeps the article numbers
in sync. Additionally you need to sync your .newsrc or similar file
of your newsreader.
Caveats:
- Exclude out.going and failed.posting from rsync when doing the
master -> slave sync. Instead, you need to sync out.going from
slave to master when online (and run fetchnews -P on the master).
- Matthias doesn't want to guarantee that the spool layout stays at it
is (traditional news spool: one directory per group, one file per
article, overview files) in leafnode2. So this setup might break in
future versions of leafnode(2).
Bye, Reiner.
