leafnode supports having more than on NNTP server:
| server = news.cis.dfn.de
| username = ..
| password = ..
| server = news.cosy.sbg.ac.at
| username = ..
| password = ..
| server = news.tahina.priv.at
| username = ..
| password = ..
| server = news.lokigames.com
| server = news.freshmeat.net
| server = news.php.net
| server = news.lrz-muenchen.de
But AFAIK leafnode works quite a bit different to nntpcache (I think).
While the former regularily fetches all articles from subscribed groups
(it automatically figures out which groups users subscribe to) via cron
the latter only fetches articles on demand and caches them.
Of course this could be completely wrong - I've never used nntpcache.
