Can someone explain this behaviour to me?

# fetch http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/FreeBSD:11:amd64/quarterly/packagesite.txz
fetch:
http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/FreeBSD:11:amd64/quarterly/packagesite.txz: No
address record

# drill pkg.freebsd.org
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, rcode: NOERROR, id: 23998

pkg.freebsd.org.        253     IN      CNAME   pkgmir.geo.freebsd.org.
pkgmir.geo.freebsd.org. 103     IN      A       96.47.72.71
. . .

I am trying to upgrade this host to 11.2 and it will not fetch the
necessary packages.
