Actually this has nothing to do with what mirror you select, but the
fact that the Gentoo developers have not yet created an ebuild for
version 1.2.11 yet.

Start off by searching the portage tree for an ebuild of the latest version.
Alot of the time it won't upgrade it automaticly, but the newer ebuild could
just be sitting in portage.
If this isn't the case, then head on over to bugs.gentoo.org and search for
