I use Leafnode successfully with the great Eternal September USENET
service.  I also have access to other NNTP servers, which I also would
like to cache with leafnode.  I set them up in Leafnode configuration,
but I see that Leafnode tries to download from these new servers the
same groups that it downloads from Eternal September.  But I wish it
would look for other, different groups.  Is that possible with Leafnode?

Ideally, every Usenet server has the same content.  Leafnode's
utility lies in its ability to find articles or groups missing on
one server by picking them up from another and combining them into
a single, more complete feed.  From the newsreader's POV, leafnode
behaves like one server with more groups than its individual source
servers and with better completion of articles.
