The big problem is when multiple gateways to news exist in multiple hierarchies. News servers accept a certain message only once - and the only thing that is looked at is the message-id.
So if your news server gets fa.linux.kernel and linux.kernel, half of the articles will end up in the first group and half of the articles in the second.
That's why it's not a good idea anymore to read linux-kernel etc mailinglists through news, you'll miss a lot of articles. Unless you do the gatewaying yourself and have enough of a clue to prevent the above scenario.
