And what if I need differents settings for differents machines? 

Let's say, that I have a couple of servers with  similar flags, other
with specials odds and a lot of fancy desktop machines and I need/want 
to centralize all the process (download-setup-make-publish) on one
dedicated server with enough resources to do that.

Then, supervised by some admins, they decide what is / isn't available
from the rsync mirros to the internal network ( like emerge sync {a,b,c}
),  then the proccess compile the packages needded for all the versions
needed and finally all that farm be emerged with the appropiated (bin)
packages,  precompiled and tweaked for them.


Something like RHN o Red-Carpet ala Gentoo ;-P

Is some way to do that or we need to create the right tools (I
volunteer) ?
