It looks like hub.freebsd.org is trying to resolve your IP address into a hostname, unsuccessfully. 'nslookup 208.232.158.3' fails, which means you probably need to contact your ISP (or set it yourself, if you are authoritative) to have the reverse lookup for that IP address set to beagle.epooch.com. Hope this helps.
