I made a breaking change to URLs so everything is referenced by
Message-ID after thinking about some of the feedback.  The URLs can get
a little much, but I think codifying my article numbers everywhere is
short-sighted if I want to rebuild my spool in some different
configuration.  The permalink handler still stands as there are cases
like references where the redirect is useful, but there are also Message
IDs on top of a group like
http://csiph.com/group/news.software.nntp/a/10t2kh8%25241a6i%25241@csiph.com
where the browsed group adds some context for things like threading.

The multi-server case is more interesting than I initially judged:  I
pointed the software (locally with indexing disabled) at nntp.gmane.io
and it works perfectly well, which makes sense as it's INN as well.

The internals would need some rework to actually handle multi-server,
article numbers are still too convenient for i.e. efficient cache
structures and efficient read tracking, but that could still work with a
tuple if needed.  No immediate plans to do this, but I had the thought
that virtual NNTP servers might be kind of cool.. I could create
something like groups.io but with dual (NNTP+web) or tri mode
(NNTP+web+email) where NNTP is the backing store, but web and email
readers/writers can participate equally.  NNTP readers get the benefit
of full history, web readers get full text search.  The virtual NNTP
server only shows the subset of lists in the group.  No immediate plans
for that just a thought, at least the external facing stuff will be
stable to any major reworks.
