(1) Please trim quoted text!

(2) incoming.conf does not work the way you describe because no one has
    implemented it.  Feel free to submit a patch.

(3) The word after "peer" is just a random grouping of letters that can
    makes sense to you personally.  It doesn't need to match the hostname
    and doesn't need wildcards.

(4) All you need to do is:

peer uunet {
	hostname: "nntp-out1.uu.net,nntp-out2.uu.net,nntp-out3.uu.net,nntp-out4.uu.net,nntp-out5.uu.net,nntp-out6.uu.net,nntp-out7.uu.net,nntp-out8.uu.net,nntp-out9.uu.net,nntp-out10.uu.net,nntp-out11.uu.net,nntp-out12.uu.net,nntp-out13.uu.net,nntp-out14.uu.net,nntp-out15.uu.net"
	max-connections: 5
}
