NetCache running as a news cache caches the following:
Overview data is header information about the article, which includes information such as the message ID (the unique identifier for the article), date, and subject.
The group list is a list of available newsgroups. Each line in the list includes the name of the newsgroup, the first and last known article in the newsgroup, and a flag indicating whether the server allows posting articles to the newsgroup.
The group information consists of the numbers of the first and last articles in the group and an estimate of the number of articles in the group.
NetCache caches the entire article that the client requested, which consists of the header and the body. The article header usually contains more detailed information about the article than is available from the Overview data.
NetCache proxies commands for which it receives only partial data, for example, the NEWNEWS command, and sends them to the news server. NetCache does not cache commands sent by the news server.
NetCache provides controls that enable you to set the rate at which NetCache checks the news server for new articles and canceled articles.
