Description

NNTPCache is Squid for news (plus lots more).

NNTPCache can take reader loads off major news-servers. Besides its super efficient execution, a single or multi-layer concentric ring of NNTPCaches can be arranged about one or more central news-servers on a DNS round-robin basis. Such a wall of NNTPCaches provides drop-in scalability, redundancy, authentication & security for even the largest news-server heart. NNTPCache can transparently stitch multiple split news-servers (e.g, one news-server carrying alt.binaries.*, another carrying alt.*, and another carrying everything else) back together, allowing news-server administrators to spread their news feeds over multiple machines, or to out-source selected components.

NNTPCache minimizes the effects of news-server down time, by continuing to provide cached news-data in the face of news-server fall-over.

NNTPCache natively supports a variety of AUTHINFO methods, including /etc/passwd, generic unix pipes, LDAP and radius.
