Has anyone thought of not calling it sup.freebsd.org any more?  Call it 
sup-master.freebsd.org, instead, and give sup.freebsd.org 3 A records, those 
of sup1, sup2, and sup3.  That way, if someone doesn't know what they are 
doing, they will get a random one of sup1, sup2 or sup3; if they know what 
they are doing they will use sup[123] directly, and it would be really hard to 
hit freefall by accident.
