--- Comment #1 from Leo Vandewoestijne <freebsd at dns.company> ---
If ISP's filter on this, then I'm relative sure they break RFC's.

However, if the dialogs tells it brought you from update.FreeBSD.org to
update1.FreeBSD.org, then it looks like DNS is working.

Maybe this 2017 case failed on a human DNS error or cached entry to an old
target.

Going from update.FreeBSD.org to update1.FreeBSD.org indicates there was a
CNAME involved. I doubt this still is done like that, which probably also
improved this issue.

So in resume:
lower/upper seem to work fine, CNAME target may have failed.
