I like running this script.

It requires the port/package fastest-cvsup, it will test for the fastest 
one then use that.  Any server statement in your file is disregarded.  
You'll the the script still calls csup as you desire.

#!/bin/sh
        if SERVER=`/usr/local/bin/fastest_cvsup -q -c us`; then
        /usr/bin/csup -g -L 1 -h $SERVER 
/usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile
      fi
