I added that variable way back (around ding-0.10) or so because I had
precisely the same problem as you: the better server was the one I
didn't have posting perms to.  :)  

This is how I'd like C-c C-c to work in nntp groups and how it worked
in early ding (pseudo-something follows): 

(post-to
 (if (foreign-group-p)     ;; (or (and ...) ... ...) if you prefer obscurity
     (current-select-method)
   (or gnus-post-method
       primary-select-method)))

Gnus has all the context information necessary to DWIM, why should I
need to tell it what to do?
