Hi stable@ people,
Ref my:

Erwin Lansing emailed me off list:

Thanks Erwin, You're right, nslookup:
	Name:   ftp.freebsd.org
	Address: 87.51.34.132
	Address: 204.152.184.73
For me in Munich Germany the Danish mirror 
	87.51.34.132 ftp.beastie.tdk.net.
is 10 times faster than USA.
	204.152.184.73 freebsd.isc.org.

But I wouldn't want to load Denmark needlessly either, so look
forward to reading follow up I see starting re. bitorrent &
fastest_cvsup etc. Thanks all !

Cheers,
Julian
