 That was the network administrator I contacted here at Dalhousie
 University, although he doesn't seem convinced it's an IPv6 issue?
 
 Has there been any progress resolving this issue?  I'm sorry to nag
 (especially if it's not a problem on the FreeBSD end), but the research in
 our group is quite reliant on FreeBSD (see
 http://awarnach.mathstat.dal.ca/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=resources:home )
 and we are unable to reach things like the source code repository,
 mailing lists and the bug reports (all links from the mirrors (e.g.
 www5) seem to point back to the main site).
