Aaah! you got me there. Confused with the request of "host -t a $mirror"

As that will always return:
Console> host -t a geodns.portsnap.freebsd.org
Host geodns.portsnap.freebsd.org not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

Anyway... coming from:
portsnap fetch -s geodns.portsnap.freebsd.org

Fetching snapshot tag from geodns-1.portsnap.freebsd.org... done.

traceroute -a geodns-1.portsnap.freebsd.org
