Actually, I think you're totally right here.  If I just un-ooize the
`nntp-connection-alist', all virtual nntp servers will use share the
same nntp connection.  Argh.  I hate it when the solution to a
difficult problem is so trivial.  :-)

It seems not to be working from the reports I've seen, but I have been
unable to reproduce this.
