Does anybody have the necessary mods to make news work with a remote
file system?  More specifically, I'd like to have the library files
and spooled articles on one machine and then access them from other
machines using an rfs, currently IBIS.  It seems that the only non-trivial
part would be article insertion; reading news should require no mods
since it's a passive operation.

Note that I'm not looking for a news server.  Maybe there are some
good arguments for such things, but it seems to me that an rfs should
be able to do the same job and require only minor changes to the software.
