On all the machines, the pkg.conf is a copy of pkg.conf.sample and the
only uncommented line is:

PACKAGESITE         : http://pkg.freebsd.org/${ABI}/latest

I've verified that the URL is the same on two of the machines. However,
the two machines are on different DNS servers. I've tried to debug using
"dig -t SRV pkg.freebsd.org" but on both machines it shows no response.
I've also tried this:
http://dnsrlookup.onlinetoolkit.org/?host=pkg.freebsd.org&recordtype=SRV
with same results, so it's probably not the way to debug it :)
