I recently went through the node "(gnus) Changing Servers". However, I
didn't find specific details regarding the scenario where a changed
server resolves to the same IP address as the previous one. I currently
have the following configuration in my "~/.gnus.el":
#+begin_src elisp
'(gnus-secondary-select-methods
'(
(nntp "news.gwene.org") ; Gmane
(nnml "") ; /var/spool/mail
;;... skip ...
;; Behaviour with various newsrc files
'(gnus-save-newsrc-file nil)
'(gnus-read-newsrc-file nil)
'(gnus-always-read-dribble-file nil)
'(gnus-save-killed-list nil)
'(gnus-check-new-newsgroups nil)
#+end_src
If I update the server to "news.gmane.io", will I need to modify all the
entries in the "~/.newsrc.eld" file?

You can set the nntp-address, avoiding it defaulting to your
configuration's server name.
Eg I have:
(nntp "gm"
(nntp-address "news.gmane.io"))
(nntp "fb"
(nntp-address "feedbase.org"))
So you can go:
(nntp "news.gwene.org"
(nntp-address "news.gmane.io"))
and keep your entries the same, while connecting to news.gmane.io
instead.
Best regards,
Adam

Thanks, Adam.
I wasn't aware of "nntp-address", although I've been using
"nnimap-address" in a similar context.
My goal is to retain the name "gmane" for historical consistency,
regardless of the actual address used. Your suggestion aligns with
that. I've since updated my configuration to:
(nntp "gmane"
(nntp-address "news.gmane.io"))
Additionally, I've made updates to the ~/.newsrc.eld file, replacing
"news.gwene.org" with "gmane". Everything seems to be running smoothly
so far, and I've made sure to keep a backup, just in case.

Great! Yeah, a backup is never a bad idea :-)
Best regards,
