I was thinking of something simular, but instead of all, just added a 2 
level tree instead of a straight list, so you might have:

 +- server-a
 |  +- comp.os.something
 |  +- comp.os.something.else
 +- server-b
    +- alt.binaries.good.newsreader

This way you could see new articles in all servers at the same time, but 
still identify which server which group was from.

There was discussion ages ago about coming the views where people have the 
same newsgroup subscribed at two different servers, and automatically 
switching the servers if one can't connect or doesn't have a part etc.

Thats all fine, but is that the primary use?  Or would the above be what 
people are are more after?  I have 3-4 servers set up for specific 
products,  general usenet/binaries, and then some product/support specific 
stuff ( mozilla nntp, borland forums, intellij forums etc. etc. ).  The 
groups don't cross over, but I'd like to see them all at once without 
switching "active server".

The local folders could also be under a top level next to the servers as 
well:

 +- local-folders
    +- sent
    +- drafts
    +- outbox
