Summary: 

If you want to create a newsgroup to act as a "gateway" to and from
an Arpa newslist, the newsgroup should be created as a "mod" group, not
as a "net" group.  The "mod" option will help get replies to the
right place (as well as postings) and make the gateway simpler
to maintain.  

We DON'T want another "net" group which connects to an Arpa group.
We've had problems with such links in the past.
