The value of gnus-select-method names the `primary' or `native'
server. The servers enumerated in gnus-secondary-select-methods are
`secondary', whereas all other servers are `foreign'. (Well, there
are servers that Gnus automatically creates, such as the nndraft
server -- these are not foreign.)
Any backend can be used for any server. Your primary server could be
nntp, nnml, nnimap, nnfolder, even nndoc I guess. Same for the
others.
I don't know what is the difference between secondary and foreign
servers, except that the secondary ones are in
gnus-secondary-select-methods. Maybe it would be possible to do
without them?
