I really should read the manual more and think less.  :-)

Right.  I'll be setting up a slave server when I get the hardware
next week...  I guess I need to start by writing a script that makes
a "feed" from the entire existing spool to boot-strap the slave
server?  And "newgroup messages", too.  Well, that should be pretty
trivial to write, but does such a script already exists, by any
chance?
