Simple Glob-style Expressions that get appended to the Subscription directive. Since this directive is NOT accessible via the GUI, it is particularly useful for filtering out 'premium' newsgroups. For example, setting this directive to '!clari.*' will prevent articles posted to just the 'clari' groups from being sent REGARDLESS of what the Subscription directive specifies. The 'DefaultAdditionalSubscription' directive in the cyclone.conf file is optional and provides a default value for this directive.
Example 17-3. AdditionalSubscription Usage
AdditionalSubscription !clari.* |
The Aliases directive names all of the machines that are 'equivalent' for this outgoing feed. If the 'Path:' field of an article indicates that it has already been to one of these sites, it won't be sent to this feed. If you decide to use this directive, don't forget to include the value of OutgoingHostname in your list of machines. Please remember that the value for this directive is a list of glob-style patterns.
| Products | Cyclone, Typhoon, Twister, Tornado Back End |
| Container | <Feed> |
| Legal Values | Hostname list delimited with commas. |
| Default Value | None |
Example 17-4. Aliases Usage

Specifies whether or not the system should attempt to resend articles that are temporarily refused by this outgoing feed (via NNTP 431 and 436 response codes). In addition, on incoming feeds, this specifies whether or not the system will send the 431 and/or 436 response codes to remote sites. The 'DefaultAllowTryAgain' directive in the cyclone.conf file provides a default value for this directive.
Example 17-7. AllowTryAgain Usage

Symbols | A | B | C | D | E | F | G | I | K | M | N | O | P | S | T | W | X
Specifies the hostname (or IP address) and Port to monitor for this outgoing feed. If a connection can not be established to this host and port, Cyclone will begin transmitting data to the host specified by the OutgoingHostName directive. Once a connection can be established, Cyclone will stop transmitting data. A connection is attempted every 'BackupTimeInterval' seconds. No Default value can be supplied. This feature is VERY useful when implementing fault-tolerant News systems. You can have secondary machines monitor your primary machines and only activate feeds if the primary machines become unreachable.

This optional directive can be used by very well connected sites to reduce the number of articles that they offer to other very well connected sites. For each instance of this directive with a unique name, a cache is created. Incoming feeds with this directive store offered article id's into the named cache. Outgoing feeds with this directive consult the named cache before offering an article to a remote site. In this way, the system will avoid offering an article to a site that has already offered it to the local system. PLEASE refer to the example in the Cyclone Configuration Guide for more details.
Example 17-48. OfferedCacheName Usage
OfferedCacheName other-cable-companies |
Specifies a unique name for this outgoing feed. This allows you to have more than one outgoing feed for a host. No two feeds can have the same 'OutgoingFeedName'. No slashes or whitespace are allowed in this value. The Default value is simply the value of the 'OutgoingHostname' directive. The value given is used for error-messages and statistics reporting.
