Re: Advice on configuring peers and newsgroups in INN2

Hi The Doctor,

Is it possible to configure a INN2 peering in a reader mode
configuration so it connects to a remote peer and requests articles? I
think that would solve any potential bandwidth problems if it is
possible.

 Good to put in the inn fAQ.

This use case is already mentioned in the FAQ:
%%%
6.7. Use INN without a direct news feed
This configuration is generally called a "suck" feed, because rather than having news fed directly to your server, you pull it down or "suck" it from another news server, and because possibly the first and one of the most widely used packages for doing this is named suck.
INN comes with a program named pullnews to pull down articles from another server and to feed articles to another server using either POST like a news reader or peer-to-peer commands.  See the pullnews manual page for more information.
