How do I send a sendsys control message to my neighboring feeds without
having the sendsys sent to the entire world?  Is there a magic Distribution:
that will do the trick, or a special Newsgroup:?

Yes, I know I could just ask my neighboring news admins for the info, but I
want to learn more about how control messages are propagated and executed.

If it matters, I'm using INN 1.2.

Thanks.
