Is it possible in Dnews to run multiple domains?? I mean like the option in Apache to run more webservers on the same port. Apache calls it Virtual servers. We want to experiment with some groups on a second domain but without changing the existing domain and newsgroups.
It is possible, but it does not work like virtual domains in apache.
The problem is each domain may want to see groups from other domains. So when 
you enable the relevant settings
you then need to modify access.conf rules to define which groups are visible 
via which interface.
The syntax is a bit ugly, first set in dnews.conf
        auth_virtual_ip true
E.g. lets assume you have two ethernet cards 2.2.2.2 for local use and 3.3.3.3 for public news groups, then your access.conf would 
look like this:
