What about yet another layer of indirection.  That is, something in nntp
might use the same connection for two virtual servers to the same
host/port.  Although, I guess this doesn't work if they have different
nntp-nov-is-evil settings or something.


Isn't there a function to test if two virtual servers are the same?  If
so, does it not work in these cases for some reason?  Or is it not being
used at the right places?  Or should such a thing be written?
