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 |

NFS though you would only want to use in a trusted environment, or |
| 26 |
restrict who has write access to the NFS.. |

The rsync mirror method can be used by untrusted clients. |
