I have a foreign nntp server and have several groups subscribed that
come from this server.  The server is also in
gnus-secondary-select-methods.  Now, when this server is unavailable
upon Gnus startup, Gnus still tries to open it (that's normal:-), and
when I interrupt this, with C-g (I don't want to wait for a timeout),
it prints a `failed' message for a short time, and then tries to open
it again, seemingly for all the subscribed groups.  How do I disable
this behaviour and make Gnus to deny a server once interrupted while
opening it?

Starting gnus with gnus-no-server is not an option, as I want to read
groups on other foreign servers.
