remove it and use rsync.gentoo.org and use that.
and try not rsyncing more than once per 24hours or you can be temporary
banned!!!!

I am not using ip addresses. (I think). I thought that rsync reads the
mirror sites from make.conf, this is mine.
GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://ftp.belnet.be/mirror/rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo/
ftp://mirror.qubenet.net/mirror/gentoo/
ftp://sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/pub/Linux/gentoo
http://pandemonium.tiscali.de/pub/gentoo/";
Would rsync itself be using ip addresses?
the line ">>> Starting rsync with rsync://64.127.121.98/gentoo-portage... "
is produced after dns resolution so yes it is.
mirror choices 1 and 4 above are currently dead when I try them,
choices 2 and 3 are responding to my browser.
Suggest you remove the GENTOO_MIRRORS=" line from /etc/make.conf
If there is a lot of turbulence in the rsync servers near you, your mirror
select choices and/or your dns cache values may be overtaken by events and
be invalid today although good yesterday.
thanks
Paul
