I think the big issue at the point is that many of these were
syncing with ftp or sup, both of which became non-functional
recently.  Basically, we need to have them all look at
http://www.freebsd.org/mirror.html and get rsync going.

Getting email contacts for the mirror webmasters would greatly
facilitate this.  In theory, www@www.??.freebsd.org should work,
but someone needs to take the time to see if theory and reality
match.  Those that do not respond will then have to be removed
from the mirror list until contact can be made.
