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
