Neither approach will work for the default server, because .newsrc.eld
doesn't store any info about the server identity for the groups on that
server. 

On the other hand: the gnus-sync could store the server name for groups
on the default server, and consider that when syncing.  Then, having a
distinct server name for the default server would allow one to have a
different default server on different gnusen.
