NNTP is a pull model, both at the client to server and server to
server levels. Each server queries the others as to what is new
within a particular set of newsgroups. Then individual messages
are requested on an individual basis.
Sorry, no. Standard/normal server-to-server NNTP feeds are PUSH
(ihave/sendme protocol). There are some feeds using reader pull methods
(ie: "suck" or "slurp" tools), but they're grossly inefficient, and are
generally quite small.
Client-to-server is indeed PULL.
