On the server-to-server level, NNTP is purely push based. Your upstream will feed you articles, which is known as a NNTP ihave feed. You probably don't have a feed at all. You also will not post articles to the upstream, your readers will post to your server, and your server will feed original articles to your upstream. Now you can use a suck/pull feed. Basically you can use suck to pull articles, then feed them to INN. Rather resource intensive on both ends, and basically impossible to get a full feed this way.
