Ah, I'm afraid that the "friel" character is utterly wrong. My leafnode
posts via three different upstream news servers, and takes feeds from a
further 4 servers. Any traffic you find on my leafnode could have come
from any one of 4 servers, and traffic onto usenet from my leafnode will
come from any one of 3 servers.
Roy - you are 100% correct, I have multiple usenet routes.
The "friel" person appears to be confusing IP routes with NNTP routes.
Few people really understand network layering.
Also, as you know, I have multiple DSL providers, so even outgoing
traffic can, and does, take a different ISP.
