Hi,
at home i have an router and 3 clients all running gentoo.
This is just crying after an home rsync server like described here ->
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Local_Rsync_Mirror
After read this i thought if it wouldn't be better to just export
"/usr/portage" via nfs to every client in my network, and run "emerge --sync"
once
1 day on my router. This has the advantage that the clients don't need
to waste the drive space for the ebuilds, and i can save time for
downloading distfiles.
The only thing on the client is to make an "emerge --metadata".
Would this work or have i forgotten something?

This is what I do, NFS /usr/portage as you say it works a lot
better for speeding up download of distfiles and saves a lot of bandwith
and space.
NFS though you would only want to use in a trusted environment, or
restrict who has write access to the NFS..
The rsync mirror method can be used by untrusted clients.
