I followed https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Local_Mirror instructions for doing a local rsync mirror. I ran commented the rsync mirrors line in the client's make.conf and ran "emerge --sync". The client still synced from a server on the internet. Do I need to manually force rsync to go local, e.g...
[thimk][root][~] rsync 192.168.1.252:: gentoo-portage Gentoo ebuild repository -- I've seen things, you people wouldn't believe; Gopher, Netscape with frames, the first Browser Wars. Searching for pages with AltaVista, pop-up windows self-replicating, trying to uninstall RealPlayer. All those moments, will be lost in time like tears in rain... time to die.
