Sorry if this is a little unclear... I have used the multiple chroot method, and although it uses lots of disk space, i found it the best way to do it. On the 'gold' server I had multiple chroots, each of which mounted the local '/usr/portage', but then mounted unique 'packages' directories over it. The multiple arch-depandent packages directories and the global portage directories are exported via NFS. Each of the production machines then mounts the global portage via NFS and then their own arch-dependant 'packages' directory over it.
