#
# Distribution control file
#
# This file is for routing network news batches through the nodes (as distinct
# from routing locally originated messages). The object of this file is to
# reduce the number of redundant copies of news items pushed through the
# net.
#
# If the node is functionally an endnode, then this file must be empty.
#
#  note that because the uucp map update mechanism 
#  relies on the news forwarding mechanism, you can't be an end node
#  if you expect that to work.  Thus, at minimum, you need an entry 
#  like
#		mapsrc	mapsink
#
#  where 'mapsrc' is replaced by the name of the node you get maps from,
#  and starts in col. 1 (with no #).
#
#
# Otherwise the file should contain a list of entries of the form:
#  <from node>  <forward node>[,<forward node>,...]
#
#      <from node> is the name of the node which sent the news item to the local
#                  node - i.e. the Path: line of the item will be of the form:
#                  Path: <from node>!.....
#      <forward node> is the name of the node to be forwarded a copy of the
#                  news item. This name must match one the 'node' fields in
#                  your NEWS.SYS file.
#
#       i.e. incoming net news from <from node> should be forwarded to the
#       nodes <forward node 1>,<forward node 2>, ...
#
# The following file is an example from this site (ANU)
#   - primary feed is from "anucsd" to downstream sites via star node "fac3"
#   - feeds from downstream sites are forwarded to all other downstream
#     sites via "fac3", as well as the upstream site, "anucsd".
#
#                             /->  csc
#  * <-> anucsd <--->  fac3 <--->  rsbs0
#                            \\->  phys0  <--> phys1
#                             \->  oddjob
#
# news.distribution for node "fac3":
#       anucsd  csc,rsbs0,phys0,oddjob
#       csc     anucsd,rsbs0,phys0,oddjob
#       rsbs0   anucsd,csc,phys0,oddjob
#       phys0   anucsd,csc,rsbs0,oddjob
#       oddjob  anucsd,csc,rsbs0,phys0
#
# news.distribution for node "phys0":
#       fac3    phys1
#       phys1   fac3
#
# More complex news routing topologies may be configured using this file, and
# the entries in the right-hand side need not be actual node names: they must
# however correspond to entities as described in the 'node' field of NEWS.SYS. 
#
# If this file exists, but a news neighbor (ie a system that appears in 
# news.sys) isn't mentioned here, news that arrives from that neighbor
# will be sent to ALL other systems.  
#
# To specify that news arriving from a particular system should go nowhere
# else, place a line in this file containing only that system's name.
# (See the entry for scubed, below.)

# --- following is "live" data for simpact.  
#
#	We get most of our news from crash.  We feed a little of it to 
#	hamavnet and putz.  See news.sys for explanation of "mapsink".  
#  
crash	mapsink,hamavnet,putz
#
#	These entries are here so that the vmsnet groups get exchanged with
#	nearly all of our news neighbors.  The entries in news.sys prevent
#	us from sending most other newsgroups to decwrl, infopiz, etc. -- 
#	each of those sites has better sources than us for the non-vmsnet
#	groups.

#	we sometimes get news from scubed, but we don't intend to pass it
#	on to anybody, as it's a dupe of what we get from crash.  The following
#	line inhibits redistribution of news received from scubed.
