My ISP decided not to make it widely known that they
were changing the DNS RRs associated with the newserver
I use, as part of a clean-up following its acquisition.
The result is a "new" newserver with much lower article
numbers in such groups as comp.dcom.sys.cisco and the
like, so gnus reports empty newsgroups.
Other than manually editing the .newsrc.eld file (not so
hard, I don't read that much news, but I'm lazy), is there
any sane way to synchronize to the new server, bearing in
mind that I have a number of articles in the cache, which
ultimately will clash with newly arriving articles (someday)?
Sean.

You have to move the cache away, or nothing will work.
