It's hard to comment on why that fails. It's correct that update1 and update2 doesn't currently work, but there are no guarantees they will. The supported way is using our SRV records at update.freebsd.org which point at the running servers. I suspect the problem might be broken DNS on your / your ISP's end causing freebsd-update's SRV code to fail and falling back to A records. Try running the following: host -t srv _http._tcp.update.freebsd.org It should produce something like this: [root@leto:~] host -t srv _http._tcp.update.freebsd.org _http._tcp.update.freebsd.org has SRV record 1 50 80 update5.freebsd.org. _http._tcp.update.freebsd.org has SRV record 1 5 80 update3.freebsd.org. _http._tcp.update.freebsd.org has SRV record 1 35 80 update4.freebsd.org. PS. freebsd-update.conf should contain: ServerName update.FreeBSD.org for freebsd-update to use the SRV records. -- Simon L. B. Nielsen
