You didn't want to mirror everything from the offical mirrors, did you? I'm not perfectly sure how portage handles a mirror that occasionally returns 404 errors but I think I've seen it fall back to the official mirrors in that case. Anyway, making educated guesses about what should be on your own mirror is probably a bit ineffective unless you have a very homogeneous environment. What I think you /should/ have wanted is a proxy specifically configured to cache very large files. net-proxy/http-replicator has been made specifically for Gentoo distfiles. NFS has the advantage that it doesn't duplicate distfiles locally on all machines. It is also easier to set up. Disadvantages? I'm unsure how portage will handle cases when two machines fetch the same file at the same time.
