As Peter said 'mirror-admin@freebsd.org' will put it in fewer peoples'
mailboxes but here works too. :-)

I added the rsync now. Hiroki added support for mentioning IPv6 for
us a while ago and last night was the first time I got a chance to
experiment with it using one site as a guinea-pig. It worked well
so I'm going to do a DNS scan checking for an IPv6 address of each
site we currently list and I'll add those in some time soon.
I also haven't had a chance to restructure the rsync section of the
Handbook but I'll try to get that done soon too. We'll stop mentioning
individual sites and what they call their modules there, I'll replace
it with a very short tutorial on how to use rsync to probe a site to
see what modules they offer. That combined with the rsync tags for
each of the sites in the FTP section seems more useful.
