Well, this is still the server, so the machine has to know about 
GENTOO_MIRRORS.  

Also, from 
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Download_Cache_for_LAN-Http-Replicator
:
Don't forget that portage needs mirrors! Edit GENTOO_MIRRORS in /etc/make.conf 
to add more http mirrors and place any ftp mirrors LAST. The default mirrors 
in gentoo leave something to be desired Use mirrorselect if you need help in 
selecting mirrors.

Which makes me think about the connection it was making earlier.

For those who think they know the answer, or want to figure it out with the 
information in this thread, please stop reading now.  The spoiler is given 
below.




The first download location in GENTOO_MIRRORS was an ftp site 
(ftp://ftp.gtlib.cc.gatech.edu).  Since portage is looking for an http_proxy, 
calling an ftp site simply connects to the ftp site.  Moving the ftp site to 
the end of the mirror list made everything work.  Or at least it appears to 
work now.  I'll know more tomorrow when another update cycle takes place.

Thanks for the help, Dale.
