I'm looking for a piece of software that will let me do the following:

act as an nntp (nnrp) server for the sake of users reading mail,
but get its articles from a different system... hopefully cacheing
these messages locally for the next request.

I understand theirs a program called 'dnews' or something similar that
will do the job under NT, what about FreeBSD?

What this will do is allow only one server to get the whole 25K newsgroups
worth of feed and distribute the newsreaders to another machine or
two that doesn't need as many resources (disk space, memory, etc...).
