Foreign groups are identified by the name of the server (car of each
entry in `gnus-server-alist').
`gnus-server-to-method' etc should understand nntp:quimby even if
"quimby" is the name of a foreign nntp server though.
Compare the discussion about the "archive" server recently, this is
the same thing. The "archive" server looks like a foreign server.
