Has anyone made modifications to allow news to work with both an nntp
feed for the bulk of the news, plus having some local newsgroups on a
disk in the organization. Presumably it would be best to modify nntp
rather than every newsreader.

Hmm, that's not very clear, one model might be

				   /----remore nntpd
				  /
newsreader----------------->nntpd/
				 \
				  \
				   \---local disk

If nobody has done this, can anyone estimate how hard it would be to
add this capability? Thanks.

Brian
