This happens on at least 6.3, I believe it is also the case in later
versions but am unsure (7-RELEASE and later kill my networking card
due
to a kernel regression).
I am wanting input before writing up a PR, to see if in fact I am just
some isolated case, or if it has been fixed already in newer versions.

update.freebsd.org should work
Considering that update1.freebsd.org is a
mirror for update.freebsd.org. it works fine
here for update.freebsd.org ever since I
updated to 7.x from 6.2(tested freebsd-update on 6.2)
update.freebsd.org does not have a DNS entry associated with it, could
that be part of the problem I'm having? (just-ping.com gets Unknown Host
from 34 systems around the world)
