FreeBSD New Zealand mirror servers seem not available anymore.

* On the top-right corner of http://www.freebsd.org/, choose "New Zealand" and hit Go will actually show that http://www.nz.freebsd.org/ is unavailable

* FTP mirror (ftp://ftp.nz.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/) given in FreeBSD Handbook (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mirrors-ftp.html#HANDBOOK-MIRRORS-CHAPTER-SGML-MIRRORS-NZ-FTP) is also unavailable

* Similarly, CVSup sites (cvsup.nz.FreeBSD.org and cvsup2.nz.FreeBSD.org) given in FreeBSD Handbook (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html) are unavailable.

* "New Zealand FreeBSD Users Group" (http://nzfug.nz.freebsd.org/nzfug/) given in FreeBSD Handbook (http://www.freebsd.org/usergroups.html) is also unavailable.

It seems NZ mirror servers have been unavailable for ages, and perhaps it's best to remove these dead links from the FreeBSD website as well as from the handbook.
