Set up a simple local news on your machine (leafnode for Unix/Linux or
Hamster for Windows) and let them fetch from both, ISP-A and ISP-B. At
least leafnode just skips servers that it's not allowed to access
(trying to connected to server ISP-A while connected to ISP-B). Dunno
about Hamster. Within Gnus, you only will use localhost as the server
in gnus-select-method.

Other method are difficult, because Gnus (and every other User-Agent,
AFAIK) looks at/stores the article numbers and not at the unique
Message-Id (an article has different numbers on different servers).

Bye, Reiner.
