Is there a way to configure gnus to cause nntp connections to not remain
open after a query for new articles takes place?
I'd like this to happen only for a specific nntp server, such that gnus
re-opens the connection to that server every time it queries for new
articles, and that it shuts down the connection after the article query
takes place.
Thanks in advance.

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.
