nntpcache (very efficiently) executes on the localhost pretending to be
|
|
an NNRP news reading server. In fact, what it does is pass certain NNTP
|
|
commands through to real (remote and possibly local) news-servers based
|
|
on various pattern matching rules. nntpcache then takes the output from
|
|
those servers and caches & indexes it in funky ways (much specific case
|
|
magic goes into this). The next time such information is asked for, or
|
|
other information which can be logically inferred from the previously
|
|
collated information, it is sent directly from the cache, without
|
|
consulting the remote servers.
