Here's my situation. I have a standard nntp server that I can telnet to from the machine I run gnus on, no problems there. I also have several other news servers that are behind a firewall, and I have an account on that firewall, so I run proxy servers going to the multiple newsservers, and listen on different port numbers, for my incoming connection from my gnus machine. Something like. -> <- Standard nntp server \ \ -> -> <- nntp server behind firewall (Mr_T) \ \ -> <- nntp server behind firewall (Mr_T) gumby is where gnus is run. Mr_T listens on 8888, and redirects to cindy:119. Mr_T listens on 8889, and redirects to rodman:119. The first thing I ran across was gnus-group-browse-foreign-server, but it didn't seem to want to allow me to specify a port. The next thing I found was the Server edit buffer, and after a few attempts, I was able to connect to cindy, and rodman, and get a list of groups to subscribe to. Both servers are set up as follows with differing port numbers. (nntp "Mr_T" (nntp-port-number 8888)) I'd rather use the secondary select method for these other servers, but I can't figure out how to get a list of news groups, the news group stuff seems to only apply to gnus-select-method. So, how can I list groups on these other two servers without using the server buffer (it gives all groups, and doesn't filter the ones to which I'm already subscribed). I also had trouble posting to groups subscribed to with the browse-server stuff, I think it tried to post to the gnus-select-method server, and not the one I had browsed, and the group doesn't exist on the primary server.
