Your firewall allow traffic agains port 873 tcp/udp ?
That port is used for rsync traffic.

Best Regards,

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.
