Uhm, I don't think so... I just answered "y" to a few "does this look
reasonable to you" questions. How could I check this?

Right, I've tried first with dig:

$ dig IN SRV _http._tcp.pkg.freebsd.org
dig: not found

and then with drill:

$ drill IN SRV _http._tcp.pkg.freebsd.org
Warning: Could not create a resolver structure: Could not open the
files ((null)) Try drill @localhost if you have a resolver running on
your machine.
