So news.aioe.org redirects to nntp.aioe.org, but that's sometimes
broken?

You should have separated the server name from its address:
(setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "aioe.org"
(nntp-address "news.aioe.org")))
Then the server name was aioe.org (and that's important for marks and
stuff), and you could always change the nntp-address. It'll still be
the same server, and all marks would still work.
But thinking about it, you should be able to use
(setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "news.aioe.org"
(nntp-address "nntp.aioe.org")))
Then your server's still called news.aioe.org, but the address is the
(hopefully) reliable nntp.aioe.org.
