If I understand you correctly, you want to use nntp to transfer a full feed to the isolated host. I don't know how you have isolated this host but it will at least have to accept an nntp connection from heitis1 in order for this to work. You'll have to make the nntp_access file real restrictive. Anyhow, if you were able to set up a bidirectional feed with some host outside of your site then it should be no problem to use the same procedures to relay the news to the isolated host. Just edit the sys file and have nntpsend run on a regular basis. If you're not going to allow posting from the isolated post you could use the L flag on that host and the n or F flags on heitus1. I hope I haven't embarassed myself by completely missing the point.
