My situation is a little different, though: Both at home and at work, I've got nntp as primary and nnml as secondary select method. The NNTP servers for home and work are different. I use gnus-no-server to read the work email without trying to connect to the work NNTP server. This would deal with your multiple NNTP connections problem. Fyi, I also have just one .gnus file to read both work and home stuff, but I've got different .newsrc.eld files (.newsrc-newswork.eld and .newsrc-newshome.eld where newswork and newshome are the work and home NNTP servers, respectively). This wasn't my idea, though, Rich Pieri suggested it -- thanks a lot, Rich! I agree, though, that it would be nice to read all stuff at the same time. For that, it would be sufficient if one had a backend that stores _all_ information about messages, including tickedness, answeredness, dormantness, and so on, in its own files (rather than .newsrc.eld). That way, one could just move around the backend files and wouldn't lose any information. The machinery seems to be there (there's some backend function for dealing with marks), it's just got to be applied.
