I've had an idea. Consider:
1. Newsx allows the exchange of news between two newsservers.
2. Newsservers communicate using the nntp protocol, which allows
messages to be sent and received, etc.
Would it not be possible for newsx, or a program like it, to be
written so that it connect to both newsservers using the nntp protocol?
This would have the advantage that the program would be very easy to set
up -- minimally, one could just tell the program the DNS names of
the two newsservers, although in practise it would probably be a good
idea to also have a list of newsgroups for which news is to be
transferred.
Is there some obvious flaw in this idea, that I've not considered?
