Two inn servers synchronize each other.
1. INN server 1 and INN server 2 be setup.
2. INN server 1 be used in intranet(Read/Post)
3. INN server 2 be used in internet(Read/Post)
4. Two server synchronize news feed at certain time
5. Just synchronize new posted articles. such as articles posted after 
last synchronization.

Got it. Thanks.  I rebuild inn by following steps
1. add --with--innd-port=80 when running configure
2. add "-D -p 80" as value of "nnrpdflag" in inn.conf
3. start inn   ./rc.news
Although it seem work, I'd like to confirm with you guys again, is there 
any missing?
