It isn't and this is on purpose. In order to not make the job of www mirror maintainers harder than is absolutely necessary, any solution that is bound to a specific server software or setup is consciously avoided. This applies to redirects as well as eg active content on the site which is also kept at an absolute minimum. As far as possible, the site should even be usable without a server from you local disk to facilitate development. > This could then be the recommended way > if a specific locale isn't important; one could always request > explicitly using 3). > > Of course, the redirector would have to know which versions are > available.

Not much, but you can read abou similar discussions in the archives of this mailing list. (freebsd-doc). Use keyword: "redirect" that should catch most of them.
