Somewhat related, but admittedly tangential, can we get rsync hostnames as well as their IP addresses for emerge --sync/emaint-sync. I feel that these functions should be clear and consistent, both for user and developer. Back on-topic: ideally, targets for distfiles.g.o probably should be looked up and displayed after/with their IP address? It would be easy, then, to spot inconsistent mirrors.
