With the new Portage 1.6.3, you only need the gentoo-sources.  Get your
mirroring script going, and then set up a web browser so that the sources
can be found at:

http://foo.bar.com/gentoo/distfiles

Then, add this line to the appropriate make.conf files:

GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://foo.bar.com/gentoo"

Note that GENTOO_MIRRORS must specify an ftp or http mirror.  rsync is 
not supported.

Best Regards,
