Then mounting the /usr/portage tree with NFS is definitely the way to go. I have the one machine set up with a cron job to sync at midnight every day and an appropriate line in /etc/fstab on each of the other machines. That is it. I never have to sync the other machines.
But what is with the portage cache in /var/cache/edb which is normally updated at the end of "emerge --sync"? I think, you have to run "emerge --metadata" on the other machines to update this cache. What is you experience with this?
It's optional. It just makes the first emerge access faster. You can run the "emerge --metadata" from a cron job running, say, 10 minutes after the "emerge --sync" if you wish.
