| Ok, I'll bite: what's the best way to use Leafnode for disconnected
| operation?  My setup is currently to have Leafnode running on my home
| firewall, and run Gnus on my main computer to read news from the
| firewall.

Way I set things up at home, two old notebooks, one gateway box and one
leafnode box.  From inside I simply read from the leafnode box.  From
outside I make an ssh tunnel to my gateway and use nc to talk to the news
server:

  (setq gnus-select-method
	'(nntp "mumble-leafnode-server-mumble"
	       (nntp-address "mumble-gateway-mumble")
	       (nntp-open-connection-function nntp-open-rlogin)
	       (nntp-end-of-line "\n")
	       (nntp-rlogin-program "ssh")
	       (nntp-rlogin-parameters
		("bin/nc" "mumble-leafnode-server-mumble" "nntp")
		)))
  (setq gnus-secondary-select-methods nil)

You can then use the Agent as you like.
