   You asked how it does that on local servers. leafnode acts as an an nntp   
   server. It in itself has cached articles. Fast, efficient, offline news   
   reading.

   in gnus, just tell it to fetch old articles : leafnode still has them   
   for a "configured" period of time.

   Thats what leafnode does.
