Well I guess it depends on what large means.
My thinking is that POST is pretty slow. Its not streaming and I think
innfeed works better when everything is streaming, there are no backlogs,
the destination hosts all respond correctly, the bread falls butter side
up, etc.
If you have a patched innfeed doing a post feed it might impact the
performance of the other streaming feeds that innfeed might be doing.
Regardless of the method you choose, a small number of small text articles
would probably be fine, say on the order of 25k-50k articles per day. If
some are binaries you'd have to cut back on the estimate.
Some other items to consider are authentication (if needed) and the handling
of NNTP-Posting-Host, Trace, and Abuse headers.
