Sorry about reviving a ?dead? thread... just got back from vacation. On
our news server, I use the plug-gw to bring all incoming feeds into our
internal news server. To feed the external news servers, I connect to
different ports (1191, 1192, 1193, ...) I then modified several programs
in INN (innxmit, nntpsend, news.daily, etc...) to add a -P option to
specify the remote port. This way, I can maintain any number of
bidirectional news feeds through the firewall. As you point out though, I
can not tell who a connection is coming from. The only indication to this
is the /var/log/news/news file and the headers of the actual articles.
