Yes. That is how the pool URL works. It does some sort of load-balancing via DNS resolution. That's why it has so many addresses. I am well aware of the /etc/hosts hack, but it's an ugly work-around. I'd rather be able to configure portage itself to use a different pool or a specific server, rather than mess around with DNS resolutions. And I haven't been having any luck in searching for how to configure the keyserver used by Portage. Yes, there is an email address I could message to notify them that there is a problematic server, but because Portage tells me nothing about which server it's using other than the pool URL, I have nothing helpful to tell them. -- Elijah Mark Anderson m...@kd0bpv.name -- 「塵も積もれば山となる。」 "Even dust, when piled up, becomes a mountain" - Ancient Japanese proverb
