It sounds like this would not be an option for us over here. It seems
like the best solution will be to gather news from our own server
(once its upgrade is finished, I expect it will have a more complete
feed) and maybe one other server to round it out. As I said, we have
to keep our online time down to a minimum.
Thanks for the info.
