Using 2 news servers with yarn

I'm currently using austin360 (a cooperative effort with ibm.net) as
my main ISP, but have found ibm.net's news server a bit lacking at
times (missing binaries, etc.) To help out a bit, I've also
subscribed to newsguy (used to be zippo.) Each of these has their own
local hierarchy (ibmnet.announce vs newsguy.announce, etc.) and are
accessed by separate batch files under either OS/2 or NT. Is there a
way to filter the yarn.zip reply packet at message upload time to send
messages in these local hierarchies to the proper news server? Or
will I have to create separate user accounts with different named
reply files to separate these messages? This can be done by changing a
single line in my config files before entering yarn. Not too hard to
do, but hard to remember and can't be done on the fly.
