1 probably the rsync has changed ip. try one of this servers:
2 sync = rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage
3 #sync = rsync://rsync3.it.gentoo.org/gentoo-sources
4 #sync = http://www.die.unipd.it/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo-sources/
5 #sync = http://mirror.ing.unibo.it/gentoo/
6 the first is the official one, the others should be mirrors. a full list of
7 rsync mirrors can be found somewhere on the gentoo site. just search for it.
8 the problem with your method is that you don't pass through a dns server
9 asking directly for an ip address and this could not work anymore when the
10 site you're trying has changed ip. you'd have to get again the ip. if you
11 want to use the ip address try searching the name with a ping or traceroute
12 or in some dns site like in the opendns cache site.
