Can a Synchronet NNTP server be peered with another Synchronet NNTP server? How might that be done?

For connecting a Synchronet BBS to an existing NNTP network (e.g. USENET), newsgate.js is usually used (not the NNTP server/service).

Sorry, I meant to say newslink.js:

There's no peer-specific functionality in nntpservice.js, but if you wanted to look into doing that, that's the file you would edit.
