Yes, the ordering of servers in noffle.conf is very important.

If you symlink outgoing/server1 with outgoing/server2, postings
for either server1 or server2 will be sent to server1 only,
and never to server2.

When posting a crossposted article, that would have been sent
to server1 AND server2, you'll get a bogus error message
saying "Posting failed.". In online mode, this posting won't
be delivered immediately, but will be queued as if noffle
was in offline mode. At the next call of 'noffle --fetch', it
will be posted to server1.

I'll ask Tony Houghton how to add noffle support to newsq.
