That is a bit much and I have to say I am disappointed that news.uu.net
has chosen the path of distributed servers which makes it a bit complicated
for devleopped ( I am certain other news manufactureres are not going to
laugh.)

IS there any way to adjust incoming.conf  so that
we can use

peer *.distributed.incoming {
	hostname: *.distributed.incoming
	max-connections: >0
}


IT was bad enough MCI Canada forgot to mention about the DNS server
changes which caused the initial failures in innfeed
and I thank Mr. Vinocur for that.
