"this is not an invitation to start running a portsnap mirror as well. There is nothing to stop you from mirroring from portsnap[12].freebsd.org, but since mirroring consumes ~5GB/month of bandwidth while updating a single machine consumes ~5MB/month of bandwidth, adding unnecessary mirrors is likely to increase rather than decrease the load on the official mirrors. If in doubt, talk to me (cperciva@FreeBSD.org) first." So if you think its worth it (you have 1000 or so clients to upgrade,) go look in the cvs repository under projects.
