I'm really surprised that ftp.freebsd.org *isn't* guaranteed to have =
every distfile.  I was going to set up this VM to be running tinderbox =
and be my binary package distribution server, figuring that since it's =
an internal service it didn't really need v4 connectivity (all my other =
machines are dual-stacked).  I thought for sure I could rely on =
ftp.freebsd.org to get me files where maintainers didn't have their own =
distribution in both protocol families.  I was even thinking about =
recompiling the kernel without INET support.
