Is there any way for me to "blacklist" a pool rsync server so that |
2 |
emerge --sync won't try to use it? |

I'm using the sync-url rsync://rsync.us.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage, but |
5 |
one of the pool's servers is barely usable for me. I don't know if |
6 |
it's a server problem or if traffic between my and that server is |
7 |
routed through a Mars orbiter. When any other server is chosen, the |
8 |
file list scrolls by faster than you can read it. Via the Mars |
9 |
orbibiter the list ticks by about one file every 5-10 seconds. It |
10 |
will usually finish (eventually), but sometimes hangs and times out. |
11 |
It's been like for at least a year or two. |

[FWIW, I'm uable to ping the server, and tracroute is unable to produce |
14 |
a route to it. However, I can telnet to the rsync port on that host |
15 |
and it connects.] |
16 |
|
17 |
When I see that server has been selected, I usually just hit Ctrl-C |
18 |
and try again. |

Is there any way to configure portage to not use that server? |
