I dont see a reason why update.FreeBSD.org shouldn't have the
same A-record as update1.FreeBSD.org, so that it "just works".
With portsnap, I asked for the A record to be created not as a fallback
for people with broken DNS, but instead as a backwards compatibility
mechanism for people who were running old versions of portsnap which
didn't do SRV lookups. To be honest, I didn't realize that there were
so many people with broken DNS resolution.
I'll ask the FreeBSD DNS admins to add an A record for update.freebsd.org.
