I have a similar situation and, although I RTFM, I cannot solve it.  My ISP's
remote newsserver can currently only be accessed from a specific machine on
my local network.  How do I configure gnus to first login to this other local
machine and then to access the remote nntp from that machine?

I've tried the both of the following:

      '(nntp "Globix"
             (nntp-address "delaware")  ; machine on local network
             (nntp-end-of-line "\n")
             (nntp-open-connection-function nntp-open-rlogin)
             (nntp-rlogin-parameters "telnet" "news.globix.net" "nntp")

      '(nntp "Globix"
             (nntp-address "delaware")  ; machine on local network
             (nntp-end-of-line "\n")
             (nntp-open-connection-function nntp-open-telnet)
             (nntp-telnet-parameters "telnet" "-8" "news.globix.net" "nntp")

What am I doing wrong?

TIA!
