I'm trying to remember this off the top of my head:
1. On the "client" systems, you need these lines in your /etc/make.conf file.
Please edit the IP address to be your internal rsync server. (The
FETCHCOMMAND and the next line are a continuation of the same line.)
FETCHCOMMAND='rsync -vcrtz --partial --progress --timeout=600
rsync://192.168.1.50/gentoo-packages/${FILE} ${DISTDIR}'
SYNC="rsync://192.168.1.50/gentoo-portage"
GENTOO_MIRRORS="rsync://192.168.1.50/gentoo-packages"
2. You will need to emerge rsyncd. Make sure to edit the
/etc/rsync/rsyncd.conf to point to where you have your portage files. You
start the rsyncd by using /etc/rsync/rsyncd start
3. On the "client" systems, make sure you have the directory
/usr/portage/distfiles created BEFORE you try to emerge sync/rsync. Make
sure the permissions of the distfiles directory match those of the
/usr/portage directory.
You will probably need to play a little with this to get it to work, but I
have it working for several systems at home.
Good Luck...
