Oops. That's difficult by Gnus, but it is possible by hand if
at least one of the following two conditions is satisfied:
1. All article numbers are the same in both of nntp servers.
2. All cached articles have been expired in the new server and
those article numbers are younger than existing articles.
Close Gnus. Cd to the ~/News/cache directory. Rename the
directory containing the cached articles, and the entry line of
the active file from old one to new one. Start Gnus. Enter the
new server's group. Mark all cached articles with `!'.
Although I've tested that it works, I recommend no people it. :p
