A stopgap that you could use is to install squid on the server node. Use it= as=20 a emerge only proxy. However you MUST make some config changes. Change the= =20 used real memory to a low value as it will not have any point for portage=20 (you'll not download things again and again), but REALLY REALLY IMPORTANT is to set the=20 maximum size of cached items to something that is in the 100 or even 200 mb range. (Standard is 1 mb or= =20 something like that, quite pointless for portage). If you give your caching= =20 proxy enough cache space it will be quite effective, and it even saves you= =20 maintaining the distfiles dir. It also stops the need for different schemes= =20 for allowing distfile requests from any host to get onto the master cache.
