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.
