At least one of my users uses this. DNews is something kinda between INN and a
nntp caching server. Someone using DNews wanted to peer with me but a friend
said to make sure he did it as a regular news feed exchange and not as a suck
feed. I didn't trust the guy knew how to set it up properly for that.

Hamster is another option (Windows only?) and then there's MyNews, which is
something else again.
