DIABLO is a backbone news transit system, designed to replace INND on
|
|
|
|
|
backbone machines. DIABLO UNDERSTANDS NEWSFEEDS ONLY, IT DOES NOT UNDERSTAND
|
|
|
|
|
NEWSREADER CLIENTS!. You cannot run diablo on a machine which needs to
|
|
|
|
|
accept nntp post commands or newsreading-related nntp commands. You cannot
|
|
|
|
|
point your NNTPSERVER at a host running Diablo.

Diablo is strictly a backbone news transit system. It will accept newsfeeds
|
|
|
|
|
using the ihave or the streaming check/takethis protocols, and it can
|
|
|
|
|
generate newsfeeds using ihave or streaming check/takethis protocols. Diablo
|
|
|
|
|
maintains a news spool and dhistory file, but the spool and history file is
|
|
|
|
|
arranged very differently from INN.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Diablo is also between 10 and 20 times as fast as INN in regards to incoming
|
|
|
|
|
feeds, and extremely efficient for outgoing feeds. I have been running
|
|
|
|
|
Diablo on BEST Internet's backbone news machine for several weeks now, and
|
|
|
|
|
it has run flawlessly.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you have a dedicated newsfeeds machine which does feeds, feeds, and
|
|
|
|
|
nothing but feeds, Diablo may be for you.
