I have several nntp servers I use (main one + several "vendor" servers for specific programs, like gnus). I noticed that since adding virtual groups (which contain groups from multiple servers) the same server will be opened several times in one 'g' operation. For example, here is the *Messages* log: Checking new news... Opening nnvirtual server on ^nntp\+news\.ISP\.net:sci\.electronics\..*$...done Opening nntp server on news.ISP.net...done Opening nntp server on news.opera.com...done Opening nntp server on news.gnus.org...done Opening nnvirtual server on ^nntp\+news\.ISP\.net:comp\.dcom\.xdsl\|nntp\+news\.ISP\.net:comp\.dcom\.telecom.tech$...done Opening nntp server on news.ISP.net...done Opening nntp server on news.vmware.com...done nnml: Reading incoming mail from file... nnml: Reading incoming mail (no new mail)...done Opening nnvirtual server on ^nntp\+news\.ISP\.net:gnu\.emacs\.gnus\|nntp\+news\.gnus\.org:gnus\.ding$...done Opening nntp server on news.ISP.net...done Opening nntp server on news.gnus.org...done Opening nntp server on news.ISP.net...done Checking new news...done You'll note that news.ISP.net is opened several times, as is news.gnus.org. This wouldn't bother me, except the "Opening nntp server on..." message always takes a few seconds to scroll by, making me think that opening the extra connection is taking time that needn't be taken (for instance, if the first connection were kept open, or else, if _before_ checking new news, gnus figured out all the info it needs to ask of each server, and do it at the same time). Any idea how to avoid this? -- Ami Fischman usenet@fischman.org
