Nice idea; I hadn't thought of it that way.  

When two articles with the same Message-ID appear, the second of these
are ignored, which is what we want.  So, yes, one could use an
nnvirtual group to "soft-switch" from one server to another for a
group.

The problem is that we want to do this with, say, 100 groups, and
nnvirtual is slow.  But something along those lines would do the
trick.
