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. |
