I can take update4 out of the DNS if it's misbehaving consistently.  If =

simply make it disappear from the DNS.

It looks like there were at least experiments with pointing =

check if these experiments went anywhere and possibly point =

freebsd-update there instead.

I believe the problem with update4 is load-related.
