Create Newsfeeds

If the volume on your news site exceeds the capacity of a single computer, you can use newsfeeds to distribute articles among multiple computers. Newsfeeds are used to circulate newsgroup articles between servers within your organization and between your organization and the Internet through a Usenet host.

You can use three types of newsfeeds to distribute the newsgroup load among servers: master, slave, and peer. A server can have both a slave and a peer feed. There can be one or more slave feeds, depending on the size of the site.

To create a newsfeed:

• Add an Active List File to the Server
• Set up a Master/Slave Configuration
• Create a Peer Newsfeed
