In my own network, I have a central server with its /usr/portage/distfiles available locally by anonymous ftp. This way, my local mirror has any file used on itself (or prefetched for my other workstations by way of an emerge --fetchonly). So, I do have files on this machine that should be checked first, regardless of whether a build is marked "nomirror". For any network that has local repositories either ftp/nfs/samba/whatever could find that useful too. Lists of other groups of mirrors (sourceforge, etc) are also good things to allow customization on. Its just my luck to want some huge source that it tries to get from a slow sourceforge mirror on the other side of the world...
