You can't run the NNTP inews on the server. The best approach is to build
two /usr/lib/news, one for the server and one for the clients. Have the 
client's inews be the NNTP inews and use the regular inews on the server.

If you are running REAL rrn, you don't need access to the databases on
the server. That's what NNTP does.

I don't know if you are running BNEWS or CNEWS, but BNEWS has an NFS
switch in it to facilitate usage in a setup similiar to the one you
seem to describe. Have a look at that.
