Jeg faldt over dette indlæg, hvor der er omtalt en Newsserver

NewsPlex for Windows 95/98/NT/2000,
Version 2.8. News-server multiplexer and explorer. Access several
news-servers simultaneously from any news-reader as if they were a
single server. Take articles for each group from many servers.
Quickly explore lists of candidate news-servers and evaluate their
service value. Administration thru a web-browser. Freeware by Adam
Mirowski.
Introduction
NewsPlex is a news-server multiplexer. It allows any news-reader
to access several news-servers simultaneously, by merging their
content transparently into one single news-server. NewsPlex merges
the lists of news-groups proposed by different news-servers into
one single list, and for each news-group, it merges the lists of
articles available on different news-servers into one single list
of articles. NewsPlex does not retrieve articles before the
news-reader requests them. It only creates local indexes and
redirects article retrieval as necessary.
Additionally, NewsPlex can be used to quickly explore large lists
of candidate news-servers and evaluate their service value. This
is called the Minimal mode.
NewsPlex runs on your own machine (or possibly on some other
machine) and appears as a standard news-server to your news-reader
and as a news-reader to your news-servers. It is therefore
somewhat similar to a proxy or to a web cache.
NewsPlex can be controlled thru command-line options at startup
time, or dynamically, from a Web browser or by telnetting into it.
NewsPlex runs on Windows (95/98/NT/2000), OS/2 and Unix (Linux and
Solaris). This version and this manual are for Windows.
Other features
NewsPlex can service several news-readers at the same time, which
notably allows to control it from the network while it is already
being used by some news-reader.
NewsPlex can be seamlessly inserted between your existing news-
server and your news-reader, without disturbing the list of news-
groups or the article numbers.
NewsPlex always uses the best news-server for requesting an
article, among those having it. It will use the remaining news-
servers if the best one could not deliver the article. Servers are
rated dynamically according to speed, latency and availability.
NewsPlex will close the connection to the news-reader in case of
errors appearing in the middle of an article retrieval, typically
news-server timeouts. The NNTP protocol limitations do not allow
the recovery of such situations. NewsPlex will however remember
the error condition, and if the article is asked for again, it
will try to use a different news-server for obtaining it.
NewsPlex can be run in the background, permanently. It will
explore news-servers periodically to maintain its article database
up to date.
NewsPlex does not need to be stopped if the network connection
goes down, for example because you disconnect from your ISP. It
will wait until the connection is up again and continue
operations.
NewsPlex is able to use any news-server as news source, even news-
servers which implement very old versions of the news transfer
protocol, and yet always exports a modern interface to news-
readers. Errors occurring during the exploration of news-servers
are also recovered, thru either restarts, deferring or
workarounds.
NewsPlex supports connecting to news-servers either directly, or
through proxy servers (SOCKS 5, SOCKS 4 or Sun-specific).
NewsPlex has simple spam filtering possibilities based on the From
and Message-ID fields of article descriptions. Wildcards are
supported.
NewsPlex supports user and priviledged user login/password
authentication."
