Well, what I ended up doing was writing a shell script which uses rsync and ssh to sync the leafnode on my laptop with the leafnode on my firewall. The basic idea is to add any items in the laptop's /var/spool/news/out.going articles to the /var/spool/news/out.going on the laptop, and then rsync everything else from the firewall to the laptop. It seems to be working well so far. I could give a copy of the script to anyone who wants it, but it's a bit ugly right now...need to fix that.
