Results:

$ fetch http://portsnap1.freebsd.org/pub.ssl
fetch: http://portsnap1.freebsd.org/pub.ssl: No address record

$ fetch http://portsnap1.freebsd.org/snapshot.ssl
fetch: http://portsnap1.freebsd.org/snapshot.ssl: No address record

$ host -t srv _http._tcp.portsnap.freebsd.org
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

Yes, I would say that something is broken somewhere, I just am not sure
where.
