It should do. It tells the client systems where to fetch distfiles from. You should only have the local server specified in here, or they will recursively use other external mirrors listed until they find the source files they are trying to emerge. > - /etc/portage/mirrors: > local http://192.168.0.4/distfiles This will only be used if the ebuild specifies a URI as a 'mirror://'. Many ebuilds don't (e.g. chromium). > I've already set up /etc/portage/repos.conf on the clients and rsyncd on > the server. The local mirror of ebuilds seems to work.
