With the current default setting of separate databases for the local eix cache (normally /var/cache/eix/portage.eix) and for the remote eix cache (/var/cache/eix/remote.eix), KEEP_VIRTUALS=true makes no sense: The purpose of KEEP_VIRTUALS=true was to update the local cache data without changing the remote data with eix-update (if both are in the same file). However, especially if you set REMOTE_DEFAULT you should call eix-remote add1 after every eix-sync so that your local eix cache is copied into the remote eix cache (see the manpage how to do this automatically with eix-sync).
