ftp.freebsd.org out of date? (WRT security advisories)

It seems (at least for me) the patches on ftp.freebsd.org are out of 
date for the 03:12 security advisory (openssh). ftp2.freebsd.org has 
them fine.

I'm wondering if this is a mirror issue or perhaps round-robin DNS problem?

What compounds the issue is that right now the old openssh 3.7 patches 
are there (on ftp.freebsd.org), but not the 3.7.1 patches (which can be 
found on ftp2.freebsd.org). This could conceivably cause someone to miss 
a patch.

Am i doing something wrong? If not, then this is just a little heads up. 
Perhaps it would be better to include ftp2.freebsd.org links in the 
security advisories.

Hate to complain. The FreeBSD security team has done a great job, 
especially in the midst of this whole openssh mess.
