/etc/portage/mirrors is a file that is used to modify mirror behavior. It is useful for defining a local mirror that can contain fetch-restricted packages when using multiple Gentoo machines.

Portage will check the /etc/portage/mirrors file before looking at GENTOO_MIRRORS in /etc/portage/make.conf

Example
