Sharing newsgroups between virtual domains is something that currently 
can't be done, but needs to be worked on.  Bascially, we don't support 
sharing of cross-domain mailboxes, which also effects newsgroups.  I 
don't have any good answers for you at the moment, unless someone else 
on the list has found a creative way to do this.
