Using macOS (that was handy) I tried where Ed M.'s
list notice referenced:

% nslookup cgit-beta.freebsd.org 
Server:		. . .
Address:	. . .

Non-authoritative answer:
cgit-beta.freebsd.org	canonical name = githome.nyi.freebsd.org.
Name:	githome.nyi.freebsd.org
Address: 96.47.72.101


That seems to have provided an IPv4 address for the server.

I hope that the above helps.
