There's built-in security in CouchDB. I am OK with the defaults but
CouchDB authentication is pluggable and you can configure things any way
you like.
Whether that's OK for everyone I can't say; they can always run things
through a proxy or VPN or whatever makes sense. For me it's good
enough.

No, the servers are not synced. I don't think it's possible because
they are in the user configuration, not in newsrc.eld necessarily. I
could sync just the foreign servers but that's even more complicated
between machines with possibly identical server names.

As described in
http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Security_Features_Overview, I'll set up
an admin just for the CouchDB database.
I'll host other users if they need it. Their sync DB can coexist with
mine.
