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.
