This technically answers your question, but may not be very interesting. ;-) royce@heffalump$ host -t srv _http._tcp.update.FreeBSD.org _http._tcp.update.FreeBSD.org has SRV record 1 10 80 update1.FreeBSD.org. _http._tcp.update.FreeBSD.org has SRV record 1 10 80 update3.FreeBSD.org. _http._tcp.update.FreeBSD.org has SRV record 1 25 80 update2.FreeBSD.org. _http._tcp.update.FreeBSD.org has SRV record 1 30 80 update4.FreeBSD.org. Since it's unlikely that most people need to query the servers via some means other than freebsd-update, and since freebsd-update automatically pulls its list of mirrors from DNS, this is really only for the sake of curiosity. The list of mirrors can change at any time, which should be transparent to users of freebsd-update. It looks like a couple of them are through Voxel's content delivery network (CDN). I think that one of them has been hosted by ISC for some time. Since the Voxel ones are 3 and 4, I'm guessing that they are the newcomers. royce@heffalump$ host update1.FreeBSD.org update1.FreeBSD.org has address 72.21.59.252 royce@heffalump$ host 72.21.59.252 252.59.21.72.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer 252.59.21.72.static.reverse.ltdomains.com. royce@heffalump$ host update2.FreeBSD.org update2.FreeBSD.org has address 149.20.64.41 royce@heffalump$ host 149.20.64.41 41.64.20.149.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer update2.freebsd.org. royce@heffalump$ whois 149.20.64.41 | grep OrgName OrgName: Internet Systems Consortium, Inc. royce@heffalump$ host update3.FreeBSD.org update3.FreeBSD.org has address 72.26.203.74 royce@heffalump$ host 72.26.203.74 74.203.26.72.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer update3.FreeBSD.org. royce@heffalump$ whois 72.26.203.74 | grep OrgName OrgName: Voxel Dot Net, Inc. royce@heffalump$ host update4.FreeBSD.org update4.FreeBSD.org is an alias for content.voxcdn.net. content.voxcdn.net is an alias for content.loc.voxcdn.net. content.loc.voxcdn.net is an alias for content.sjc1.site.voxcdn.net. content.sjc1.site.voxcdn.net has address 208.122.62.226 Royce -- Royce D.
