You really aren't all that bright, are you?
Roy uses my leafnode server.
My leafnode server posts outgoing messages via 3 different news servers,
and takes incoming messages from those three plus another 4, making a
total of 7 routes incoming and 3 routes outgoing.
I have more than one ISP, so the IP routes taken to these NNTP servers
can also vary.
Furthermore, Roy has more than one route into my system, because of my
use of multiple ISPs.
The reason my setup is like this is so that if any one or even two of
the news servers are down, then service is still maintained for myself,
Roy and others who also use the system.
I know that the Windows world doesn't really understand high availability
design, but one issue is avoiding common-mode failure. My setup is
intended to avoid that as much as is reasonably possible, not just
at my end, but at the upstream/downstream end, and even in their own
network streams.
And yes, just in case this still hasn't got through
*Roy has no control over this*.
*It happens automatically*.
*It happens automagically*
*It happens without user intervention*
Clear?
