Ahh, thanks for the clarification (thanks to Robert too).
Yes, if you set up a single server to suck feed from two servers, your
server will end up with the articles from both. DNews will also not
duplicate articles if the same article exists on multiple servers, so
sucking feeds are often used to obtain missing articles from other types of
feeds as well.
Hope this helps. If you are having problems getting this to work, please let
us know and include your configuration files, and dnews.log after doing a
'tellnews update', or refer to the following page for debugging tips -
