Previous: Where to Locate News
The News Cache presented in this thesis shall allow an easier
provision of local newsgroups as shown in
section 3.2. Hence it must be able to
distinguish between different news server. Hence the News Cache has to
maintain different news databases for different news servers and has
to select the appropriate news database based on the newsgroup's name.
Alternatively the News Cache may maintain only one news
database. However in this case the different news databases have to be
merged. Since this can be a time consuming task we decided to maintain
a separate news database for each news server.
