I run run my own cvsup ports mirror on a perimeter box, what would be 
your public web server. Hint: look into cvsupd

All my internal machines cvsup off the perimeter machine, so the 
upstream cvsup provider is hit only once by me. IOW, their cvsup.ports 
files make reference to my box, not cvsup.foo.freebsd.org
