freebsd-update "can't find update.FreeBSD.org"

[Steven Susbauer]

freebsd-update fetch fails if the default "ServerName
update.FreeBSD.org" is not changed to "ServerName update1.FreeBSD.org"
in /etc/freebsd-update.conf.

This happens on at least 6.3, I believe it is also the case in later
versions but am unsure (7-RELEASE and later kill my networking card due
to a kernel regression).

I am wanting input before writing up a PR, to see if in fact I am just
some isolated case, or if it has been fixed already in newer versions.
