I'm pretty much getting the same results (more or less):

$~ host -t SRV _http._tcp.pkg.FreeBSD.org
_http._tcp.pkg.FreeBSD.org has SRV record 10 10 80 pkgmir.geo.freebsd.org.
_http._tcp.pkg.FreeBSD.org has SRV record 50 10 80 pkg0.pao.freebsd.org.
_http._tcp.pkg.FreeBSD.org has SRV record 50 10 80 pkg0.tuk.freebsd.org.
_http._tcp.pkg.FreeBSD.org has SRV record 50 10 80 pkg0.sjb.freebsd.org.
_http._tcp.pkg.FreeBSD.org has SRV record 50 10 80 pkg0.nyi.freebsd.org.
