This matters not... see SVN r257755

We do not ever want to display the contents of the SVR record in the list.
There are multiple pkg*.freebsd.org SVR zones.

pkg does no such thing. It picks the first one that works.

The decisioning for which order and what content gets returned from the SVR=
 query
is on the back-end, not on the pkg-end; pkg just takes the first one that w=
orks.

For example, "host -t SVR _http._tcp.pkg.freebsd.org" (for me at least)
returns 3 entries. pkg goes after the first one.

I'd be shocked if you told me that pkg was doing geo-mapping with the 3 nam=
es it
returns and determining which was was closest.

Rather, pkg just does a DNS query and goes through the list of hosts.

No. You're thinking that I'm talking about the contents of the SVR query.
I'm not. I'm instead talking about...

*actual* and *real* multiple names that you can query SVR data from.

pkg.freebsd.org is only one

There are multiples, and I believe that we should add them.
