If I configure RSLight to sync a group with multiple peers will this
likely cause problems?

Envision two sections in config/ with alt.arts.poetry.comments :

--------------------------------------

file:config/poetry.inc.php ~>
'remote_server' => 'news.peer1.url',

file:poetry/groups.txt ~>
alt.arts.poetry.comments <<<
alt.poems

--------------------------------------

file:config/literature.inc.php
'remote_server' => 'news.peer2.url',

file:literature/groups.txt
alt.english.usage
alt.writing
alt.arts.poetry.comments <<<

--------------------------------------

Expect: alt.arts.poetry.comments will sync with each configured group.

Would this lead to any kind of conflict in the backend, spool, or cron
job execution? Would it duplicate group data in the tradspool or sqlite
database? Would it double-download data or would the first synced
section update transfer to the second section sync job?

Also, if I programmatically changed the remote peer in <section>.inc.php
between cron jobs, would that cause any problems?

That should work. It will be necessary to create the web dirs, even though
you won't use the web interface (these dirs are where the scripts run from).

Also, don't forget to add 'poetry' and 'literature' to menu.conf.

Each section would maintain a file with article number pointers to the server
configured for that section.

Before downloading any article from a remote server, rslight checks the
message-ids from XOVER. If the message-id is in our history or overview db,
the article is not downloaded, and shows as 'Duplicate' in the log file.
This should all work fine.

Same as above. rslight will create a new file for the new remote peer, and
go from there. Then, expect to see a bunch of 'Duplicate' messages in the logs
(spoolnews.log). When you see 'Duplicate', it's just notifying you. It did not
download the message.
