I think you would do well to setup a squid proxy and block outbound |
| 23 |
traffic for the affected machines. We've had great success with squid |
| 24 |
in our environment. This gives you a tremendous amount of flexibility |
| 25 |
on your access control, and it means you don't have to be concerned |
| 26 |
about which transport methods are used when updating/installing. |
| 27 |
Added bonus is that the squid caches your Gentoo download objects. |
