Note that there is no 'Australian FreeBSD group'.  I suspect the Oz
CVSup mirrors are being maintained by individuals associated with the
organisations hosting the servers.  cvsup.au.freebsd.org does appear
to be serving broken data.  Possibly cvsup2.au.freebsd.org does a
better job (if not, it should be possible to identify the maintainer
of the latter mirror via his maintainership of dns/dnscheck and several
other ports).

Unfortunately, the au.freebsd.org admins are very difficult to contact -
it recently took several months of attempts via several different
channels to get another sub-domain updated.
