nnvirtual != virtual server.  There is a confusing name conflict
here. :) 

The 'virtual servers' are the "nntp+msnews.microsoft.com" entries, which
is technically unrelated to nnvirtual.  Other than that you seem to have
placed a lot of 'virtual servers' inside of your nnvirtual groups.

The problem is that gnus sees two things of the form "nntp+msnews..."
and opens a separate connection for each.
