Well, including such a feature would be potentially disastrous. A
news server uses significant CPU time when establishing a new
connection, and it would be irresponsible of a news reader to allow
such functionality.
However, it really shouldn't be much problem implementing this by
issuing a `(nntp-close-server)' from `gnus-article-prepare-hook' or
the like.
