Based on what you're saying it sounds to me like you need something
like I'm in the middle of setting up.  One machine that's the staging
machine.  That machine does rsync to the gentoo tree, and I do builds
there and test them.  New builds are tested and after checked out they
get copied into the PORTAGE_OVERLAY structure.  Nothing exists in that
structure that hasn't been built/tested on the staging box.

Then, all the otehr servers rsync (using emerge rsync) with the
staging machines, which serves out of its PORTAGE_OVERLAY structure.
