This sounds reasonable to me - I definitely agree that we need to
standardise this and not simply continue to saddle ourselves with
freefall's historical baggage.  I had the situation come up today
where Richard wanted a sup connection and I figured I'd direct him at
our first mirror, sup2.freebsd.org.  Unfortunately, I had absolutely
no idea what to tell him concerning which prefix values to use and had
to refer him on to the site's maintainer (Paul Traina).

We need to standardise this now or our 6 planned mirrors will all
be wildly divergent.
