This definitely sounds like a bug. Gnus is supposed to keep the connections open and re-use them as needed. The most likely reason I see for this not happening is that Gnus isn't able to recognize the groups as coming from the same server. What is the `G e' output on two of the component groups that are included in the two different nnvirtual groups? -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) larsi@gnus.org * Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen
