   Is there ans newsreading software that will allow me to read news from
   multiple NNTP servers?  For example, I read some news on from our local
   server, and read some groups on a remote server.  I think it would be
   to have another field in the .newsrc file that specifies what server the
   groups are to be read from.  this would

     -widen the range of groups a user may read
     -allow users to spread their use over multiple sites, thereby spreading
      the load from some overloaded sites
     -lessen the danger of censorship by giving users a choice of server; they're
      not limited to the range of groups their administrator decides to carry.

   Is this a possibility?

GNUS has this capability, but implemented a different way.  It can
use ~/.newsrc-<server>, where <server> is the name of the server....
I'm not sure where to find it (I didn't install it), but you can
probably ask on gnu.emacs.gnus.
