Sure. I wrote a daemon to take care of traffic on my news server
during those times that the real daemon was off-line.
This was originally developed under REBOL 2.0.0 and 2.0.2.

Version: 2.0
Purpose: {
Pretend to be the real NNTP/NNRP server while it's not around.
Establishes itself as an NNTP/NNRP server and sends an error message
indicating that the real server (INN) is off-line, typically for
history rebuilds. (Original ver 1.0 was Perl)
Security note: This script binds to a priviledged port (<1024) so must
execute as ROOT.
