Something like this in make.conf: SYNC="rsync://ftp.is.co.za/gentoo-portage" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ftp.is.co.za/mirror/gentoo.org/ http://distfiles.gentoo.org"; You should be able to rsync to rsync.is.co.za or to ftp.is.co.za, they are different interfaces on the same machine -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
