Troy, I have indeed heard of these folks. Giganews and Newsfeeds.com are outstanding choices for outsourcing Usenet. I have also used their software. It is indeed first rate. But given price, scalability, performance, ease of administration and support (especially for FreeBSD), I'll stand behind my endorsement of DNews.
