Yep - update5 is currently weighted 50% in the SRV:

$ host -t srv _http._tcp.update.freebsd.org
_http._tcp.update.freebsd.org has SRV record 1 35 80 update4.FreeBSD.org.
_http._tcp.update.freebsd.org has SRV record 1 50 80 update5.FreeBSD.org.
_http._tcp.update.freebsd.org has SRV record 1 5 80 update3.FreeBSD.org.
_http._tcp.update.freebsd.org has SRV record 1 10 80 update2.FreeBSD.org.
