Hi,

I looked at this page:

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Local_Mirror

"Many users run Gentoo on several machines and need to sync the Gentoo 
repository on all of them. Using public mirrors is simply a waste of bandwidth 
at both ends. Syncing only one machine against a public mirror and all others 
against that computer would save resources on the public mirrors and save 
users' bandwidth."

Perfect!

So, I set up the rsync deamon on my "mirror server" host and the 
/etc/portage/repos.conf/gentoo.conf file on the client machine, run the 
recommended test and everything is just as described.  I sync my client, and am 
very happy.

By coincidence, I happen to look in /var/log/emerge-fetch.log on the client and 
discover that everything got fetched remotely, from, like gentoo.org and 
rubygems.org, etc.

What a disappointment!  Is there something I still have to do?
