- A program to do this is included in INN; look at backends/rcompress.c.
- Run it out of inetd. When someone connects to the NNTP port on your gateway
- host, this program connects to the NNTP port on an internal host (compiled
- in) and forwards all traffic between the two. Small and simple; 200 lines
- of commented code.
