- IP addresses for all the entries mentioned there. The problem is that
- this data is dynamic (sometimes people change IP addresses), and innd
- never goes back to check. If your system stays up for days and one of
- ! your feeds changes their IP address, innd will reject them. Rich plans
- ! to handle this in INN1.5, but for now you might find it useful to do a
- ! "ctlinnd reload hosts.nntp" out of cron every day or so or when you
- ! notice there's a problem.

- + People often complain that the man pages for archive and for newsfeeds

- + you how to set up a /program/ feed for archive, while archive(8) shows
- + you how to set up a /channel/ feed. There are some rules for using one
- + over the other:
-
- + 1. If you intend to use the ``-i'' flag, ALWAYS use a channel feed, as
- + archive does not do any file locking on it's index file. The index
- + file might get corruped by multiple concurrently running instances
- + of archive, as may happen with a program feed.
- +
- + 2. If you do not intend to use the ``-i'' flag, choose a channel feed
- + only if that feed will be very busy (some hundred articles a day,
- + perhaps). If the feed will not be really busy use a program feed.
- +
- + A channel feed starts up a process that keeps running all the time and
- + is connected to innd via a pipe, while a program feed fires up a
- + process for every single article that goes through the feed. That
- + process only handles this one article and dies thereafter.
