I hadn't considered having a per system NNTP server. I sort of like the idea. I think it could emulate the functionality that I used to get out of Lotus Notes & Domino with local database replication. I rarely needed the offline functionality, but having it was nice. I also found that the local database made searches a lot faster than waiting on them to traverse the network.
Also note that bi- or unidirectional NNTP/SMTP gateways are useful.
I've been reading nanog and many other lists on my own NNTP server via a straightforward mail gateway for about a decade. Works great. I'm sending this message as a mail reply to a news article. -- Regards, John Levine, johnl@taugh.com, Primary Perpetrator of "The Internet for Dummies", Please consider the environment before reading this e-mail. https://jl.ly
