[gentoo-user] emerge --sync issue on only one comp on LAN

[Bruce Hill <daddy@happypenguincomputers.com>]

There are 3 (or more) computers which sync (sometimes daily) on my LAN at
work: server, router, and workstation. server has issues almost all the time
getting a rsync server (for lack of better way to state it). All three comps
have the exact same SYNC in make.conf:

mingdao@server ~ $ grep SYNC /etc/make.conf
SYNC="rsync://rsync.us.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage"

mingdao@router ~ $ grep SYNC /etc/portage/make.conf
SYNC="rsync://rsync.us.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage"

mingdao@workstation ~ $ grep SYNC /etc/portage/make.conf
SYNC="rsync://rsync.us.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage"

When I first noticed, it was that with the same command (alias ud) run on each
computer, server *always* took a good deal longer than workstation and router.

Here's the output from the emerge --sync portion of my "ud" alias today:

alias ud='eix-sync && emerge -aDjuv --changed-use @world && dispatch-conf && emerge -a --depclean && revdep-rebuild -i && clear && exit'

Can anyone see something obvious, or tell me where to begin checking or
something to change?

Cheers,
