What would then be in the database would be records providing easy lookup by message-id (at least) into the on-disk message store.
Putting meta-data into the database would work. Then use that index information to actually access the files. I recommended the same in my invited talk at <http://www.shub-internet.org/brad/papers/dihses/>.
Of course, if you're going to use a USENET interface, you should use Diablo as the back-end. ;-)
