newsfeeds

[Rick Reed]

DNEWS.SWBELL.NET will be my newsfeed server.  It's part of our T1 package. 
 All I need to do is call them and tell them my news server is up and 
running (whenever I make it that far) then I presume it just magically 
happens.  My production server will live on the DMZ and have a public IP 
address.  Aside from being firewall protected the NNTP side of it will have 
to be secure as well.

I've been told I'll be wanting to setup a "pull" server (or pull feed?), as 
I don't want theirs trying to "push" me 50-85GB of data a night.  Does that 
sound correct?  All I want to happen is for my server to pull comp.* (if 
that turns out to be more crap than we want it may become comp.databases.* 
or comp.databases.pick) and post stuff that my users post if that makes 
sense.

How's that?

Don't shoot the messenger,
