1 Hi All,
2
3 The vast numbers of new Gentoo Linux users have started to overwhelm our
4 main rsync server -- earlier today we had 59 syncs running
5 simultaneously! To help alleviate this problem, we've set up a DNS
6 round-robin system so that rsync load is distributed over our
7 much-appreciated rsync mirrors. To take advantage of our rsync mirrors,
8 add the following line to your /etc/make.conf:
9
10 SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage"
11
12 If you would like to host an rsync mirror on a server with a decent
13 amount of bandwidth, please email me (drobbins@g.o) and I'll show
14 you how. The more, the merrier.

16 Best Regards,
