cvsup mirror state

[Nils Vogels]

Hi there!

I'm hoping I have the right list, if not, please drop me an icmp redirect :)

Just ran the fastest_cvsup script, which comes with the portstree, and there
seemed to be a few communications errors, which seemed interesting enough for
the FreeBSD project people to know :)

First of all, the fastest_cvsup script fetches the list of cvsup mirrors to
prod from http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/cvsup.html .. After that,
it contacts each server listed and measures how long it took to connect.

During a full sweep of the server set, I ran into the following issues:

==> DNS lookup timed out for cvsup.au.freebsd.org
==> DNS lookup timed out for cvsup.bg.freebsd.org
==> DNS lookup timed out for cvsup.kw.freebsd.org
==> DNS lookup timed out for cvsup.kw.freebsd.org

Offcourse, a lot of mirrors were working just fine, but .. it's better to keep
a clean house, right ? :)

Greetings,

Nils.
