News Server

I'm wanting to run a news server on my home server.  Mostly for caching certain newsgroups from another public news server.   Not really for local newsgroups.

Is there a package already built to do this?   I've done some looking around and cant seem to find the simple news server that could pull news from another server.  I feel like I'm not asking the right questions from the search engines so figured I would ask for someone here to point me in the right direction.

I basically have about 20 or so newsgroups that I would like to pull from teranews.  Then I would like to be able to access my local news server with a regular news client to access those 20 or so newsgroups.

Thanks.

Damn, 44 views but no replies... Guess no one is interested in running their own newsgroup server....

Re: News Server

Well you could run the full blown INN server but that's usually overkill for local caching.  Years ago I used to run 'leafnode' overnight when I had dialup and then sift through it the next day.  Another possibility may be to try 'noffle' but I've never used it.

Cool.  I'll try that one first then.  Thanks.
