Alternatively, use an NFS mount as $DISTDIR and you don't end up with

I did that once and I don't recall having any problems. I had 4 rigs
plus a really slow dial-up connection. When I found out about
http-replicator and rsync, I started using it. I couldn't tell any
difference tho.
If you do use NFS, I think you have to run emerge --metadata on the
secondary machines. That may have changed since it has been a while.
You may do if you put $PORTDIR on NFS, but I am only sharing $DISTDIR.
I cheated and just shared /usrportage, distfiles and all. I wasn't to
clear on what I was doing in my reply up there.
