It runs over pipelined HTTP, so all you need to do is set up a caching
HTTP proxy, and have your internal servers use that.
If you are going to do that then you need to set HTTP_PROXY
and/or http_proxy consistently. If either of these are set portsnap uses
them to to seed it's choice of server rather than a pure random
selection.

I would be highly interested in running my own internal portsnap mirror
based on an internal ports tree with local ports, as well.
Has anyone done this?
