Similar, but much more simple really, since you just need to download a
single file to a pre-determined path (there are many ways to do this),
and use this path as the server address in Gnus.
It should be fairly simple to write a function which updates this file
asynchronously, and then triggers the synchronous parsing of it by Gnus
afterwards.
