Hello,
when several newsservers are merged together, delegate stops answering if
one of the newsservers isn't working. The client gets: connection reset by
peer. 

Can this be overcome by configuration changes?

Ciao

Running delegate 5_9_3 on NT, Config is:

SERVER=nntp
MOUNT="=nntp://news.rz.uni-karlsruhe.de/"
MOUNT="= nntp://news.cadsoft.de/"

RELIABLE="129.13.170.0/@C,"
REMITTABLE="nntp"
DGROOT="X:/CTArchiv/delegate"
LOGFILE=""
RESOLV=cache,dns,sys
RES_NS=129.13.170.241
CACHE=no


An example protocol of such a sudden disconnect. The server
news.rz.uni-karlsruhe.de is not working proberly. news.cadsoft.de is.
