That would be my thought, move a list of MID to be fed from the feeding 
server to the target, do a MID to hash conversion, stop the server and 
remove the hashes from the history, then make the dbz again. Then feed 
the articles.

You don't mention which o/s and filesystem type you use, tradspool 
performance is one of the reasons for cycbuffs. That's unrelated to your 
problem other than as a possible speedup for makehistory.
