>From "man portage": mirrors Whenever portage encounters a mirror:// style URL it will look up the actual hosts here. If the mirror set is not found here, it will check the global mirrors file at /usr/portage/pro- files/thirdpartymirrors. You may also set a special mirror type called "local". This list of mirrors will be checked before GENTOO_MIRRORS and will be used even if the package has RESTRICT="nomirror". Format: - comments begin with # - mirror type followed by a list of hosts Example: # local private mirrors used only by my company local ftp://192.168.0.3/mirrors/gentoo http://192.168.0.4/distfiles # people in japan would want to use the japanese mirror first sourceforge http://keihanna.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge # people in tawain would want to use the local gnu mirror first gnu ftp://ftp.nctu.edu.tw/UNIX/gnu/ -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
