I just set up a local rsync mirror using app-admin/gentoo-rsync-mirror.
Now I'm just wondering if it's necessary to do it like suggested and put
a separate portage tree under /opt? I mean, apart from syncing to the
official Gentoo mirrors it's read-only anyway, so pointing my rsync
daemon to /usr/portage should be fine, shouldn't it?

cheers!

I've been syncing a few machines via /usr/portage without a problem. At 
least with that method you only need to perform one sync on the main 
machine and then let the others sync off it.

That's what I was thinking...OK, I'll just try it that way. Thanx!
