Sorry, let me clarify my original post a little. When I said 
"distribution", I didn't mean distribution as in 

| If I post to dfw.news, does it go through my Ottawa machine to
| other Dallas machines? 

Obviously, the answer to this is - it depends on the sys files
of all the machines between mine and the other Dallas machines.

What I meant was 

| If I post to "news.important.announce" (or any other group 
| that goes everywhere) with a "Distribution: dfw" line 
| in the header, does it go through my Ottawa machine to
| other Dallas (ie: dfw distribution) machines? 

I think that will clear up some of what I said just a tad,
especially the part about being geographically proximate. :)
