I've implemented several different solutions for this. The easiest, is to give your IPs to your news provider and point your customers directly to their server. Another solution, rather poor, is to use netcat in combination with tcpd. You don't want to have the relay wide open, else people will find it, and get your service turned off. A good combination of this, would be to use something like nntpcache. This requires a bit of a machine, but nothing compared to running your own full-blown server.
